Human Rights Watch said Thursday that an Israeli strike on an apartment building in Gaza City last October was an “apparent war crime,” citing no military rationale behind the attack after a months-long investigation.
The Oct. 31 strike killed at least 106 civilians, including 54 children, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in its report.
The report “found no evidence of a military target in the vicinity of the building at the time of the Israeli attack, making the strike unlawfully indiscriminate under the laws of war,” the group said. “Israeli authorities have provided no justification for the attack.”
The findings come as the International Criminal Court continues its war crimes investigation into Israel, including a claim of genocide against Palestinians brought by South Africa. The court has not ruled on the genocide claim but has condemned the Israeli military’s conduct in the war.

What about Human rights watch say about the bombing of Germany during WWII??
The “International Criminal Court”?
What authority do they have?
To be honest, most of the organizations like Human Rights Watch think that Israel existing is a war crime.
Accidents are war crimes only when Israelis do them.
but raping and murdering Israeli civilians is not a war crime ...
Of course, their examination after the fact when they could walk the ground provided a level of intelligence which was unavailable when the attack was initiated.
What about Obama’s drone strike killing civilians?
Too bad. Collateral damage is a side effect of war. Look at how many civilians died in WW 2 as a result of Allied bombing.
Were the Hamas terror attacks on October 7 ‘apparent war crimes’?
Along with using citizens, children as human shields.
Yep, Hiroshima and Nagasaki
I tried searching for the group’s outcry against the October 7th invasions of homes in Israel.
Still searching.
Lots and lots of anti-Israeli outrage articles found.
Hamas is winning the PR battle. Even though they are bloodthirsty savages.
Regardless, we all suffer the consequences of our chosen leadership.
This is a war and not some “police action”. And, it needs to be prosecuted to a full and complete resolution. Articles like this are irrelevant and naive.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were pretty small beans as urban air-raids went in those days.
They were much more efficient, however ...
And no war crimes for the invasion and murder by Muslim Palestinian army goons of the civilians in Israeli neighborhoods that started the whole thing?
The bombing of Dresden was a joint British and American aerial bombing attack on the city of Dresden, the capital of the German state of Saxony, during World War II. In four raids between 13 and 15 February 1945, 772 heavy bombers of the Royal Air Force (RAF) and 527 of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on the city.[3] The bombing and the resulting firestorm destroyed more than 1,600 acres (6.5 km2) of the city centre.[4] Up to 25,000 people were killed.[1][2][a] Three more USAAF air raids followed, two occurring on 2 March aimed at the city’s railway marshalling yard and one smaller raid on 17 April aimed at industrial areas.

I think 25,000 civilians were killed in Dresden
All I need to see is the list of German concentration camps. One bombing doesn’t even put a blip on the radar AFAIC
