Human rights organizations in Israel appeal to the Attorney General, Prime Minister and Defense Minister, urging them to immediately cease the attacks on public property, government offices and civilian facilities, allegedly held by Hamas: These are civilian targets, protected under international law

Human rights organizations in Israel, including HaMoked, call for an immediate cessation of strikes against the civilian population and civilian facilities in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Government's position, according to which any target linked to Hamas, whether individuals or buildings, is legitimate, contradicts international humanitarian law, which is founded on three key principles: distinction, proportionality, and military necessity.
