Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip "violated the laws of war" by firing rockets at populated areas in Israel during an eight-day flare up last month, Human Rights Watch said on Monday.
Citing Israeli army figures, HRW said that approximately "1,500 rockets were fired at Israel between November 14 and 21," of which "at least 800 struck Israel, including 60 that hit populated areas."
These attacks "killed three Israeli civilians, wounded at least 38, several seriously, and destroyed civilian property," HRW said, noting that there were also rockets fired from Gaza "that fell short of their intended targets in Israel apparently killed at least two Palestinians".
"Palestinian armed groups made clear in their statements that harming civilians was their aim," Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement.
"There is simply no legal justification for launching rockets at populated areas."

I’m in shock, is this April Fools Day? If true, better late than never. About time they noticed after decades of the murder of Israeli civilians.
Someone at HRW is going to lose their job for ignoring their antisemitism policy by pointing out war crimes against the Jews.
Methinks the Mosad dug up some poop on HRW corporate types. Be a shame if it hit the media. Stuff about kid porn comes to mind but who knows? Whatever it was surely made an impression. I can think of nothing else though that would 180 those idiots and cause them to tell the truth.
You forgot to put smiley in your reply.
i assume we will be reading this as the headline on the NYTimes tomorrow morning? nice big black bold letters 2 inches high?

Jooos!?! In Jerusalem?! Where? Help me, Allah! (suck thumb to keep teeth from chattering).
NGO faults Palestinians. Man bites dog.
You mean, the sign over the lounge saying “Palestinians can do no wrong. Israel can do no right.”? New kid. Never went into the lounge before. He promises never to do that again.
Kid porn? You mean, somebody was photographing someone’s last visit to Ghaza?
You just KNOW those pieces of human garbage would do it and think themselves untouchable.
Until reality rears it’s head.
I REALLY hope the Mosad cuts loose with whatever they got all these idiots the world over ASAP. And you gotta believe they have plenty in their files. Screw diplomacy. Screw the fallout. the S is going to HTF one way or another. History always repeats. So make it count.
Of course that’s easy for me to say living in Arizona. Probably not so much for you and others living there.
You’ve got at least one convicted pedophile working with the leftists here. Groups who go through third-world hell holes are probably attractive to that type. Gets them where they can pay for services.
