UN urges Israel to end Palestinian occupation, says killings were war crime

The United Nations' special rapporteur on Palestine said Friday that the deliberate killing of over 60 Palestinians protesters by Israeli forces who fired at them constituted a war crime, in a session that opened with a demand that the occupation end.


On Monday, Israeli security forces fired live ammunition and tear gas at demonstrators on the Gaza border, killing at least 62 people, including several children – the youngest of which was eight months old – and injuring over 3,000.
