Is the IDF committing human right abuses ?
Yes. I witnessed and suffered from this abuse myself since childhood, and until the present day.
Don’t take my word for it , take it from human rights organizations, including Israeli ones, and Ex-IDF members themselves.
Israeli violations Direct killings In the first six months of 2021, the Israeli occupying forces (IOF) killed 302 Palestinians. These included 254 Palestinians killed during the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and another 46 in the West Bank. Of the latter, 14 Palestinians were killed during protests against Israel’s displacement policy in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood. Two Palestinians were also killed inside the Green Line in the context of protests against the forced displacement of Palestinian residents of Jerusalem. The IOF killed all Palestinian victims, with the exception of four slain by Israeli settlers. Of these, three Palestinians were killed on one day during joint attacks by the IOF and settlers on Palestinian villages across the West Bank. Of all death incidents, 15 Palestinians were killed in completely calm circumstances. These were killed by the IOF in the absence of tension on the scene. The rest were murdered in the context of demonstrations, raids, or Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. In at least two incidents, the IOF impeded Palestinian attempts to provide first aid to the wounded before they died. Except for one case, Israeli occupying soldiers failed to provide first aid to Palestinian victims. On 11 occasions, the IOF impeded the access of ambulances to Palestinian fatalities in the West Bank. Palestinian deaths included 73 children and 43 women. The Israeli occupying authorities also withheld the bodies of 16 Palestinians, bringing to 82 the number of bodies withheld since April2016. Deaths in peculiar circumstances/indirect killings During the reporting period, nine Palestinians died in peculiar conditions. Of these, Maher Sa’sa’, a 45-year-old Palestinian political prisoner, died in an Israeli prison as a result of medical negligence. Three young men died as a result of a drone explosion off the coast of the Gaza Strip. These had hauled up an Israeli drone in their nets, which had fallen into the sea and contained explosives. The remaining victims died while they were being chased by the IOF or unintentionally run over by Israeli settler vehicles. Demolitions [1] During the first half of 2021, the Israeli occupying authorities demolished a total of 270 Palestinian public and private properties. Home demolitions [2] The Israeli occupying authorities demolished 101 homes. The majority of these homes (99) were destroyed, allegedly due to the lack of Israeli-issued building permits. The other two homes were demolished on punitive grounds. Thirteen (13) homes were located in the city of Jerusalem, 86 in Area C, and two in Area B. Home demolitions resulted in the displacement of 520 Palestinians, including 250 women, 264 children, and 157 school pupils. Of all those displaced, 95 were original refugees. While 12 were under still construction, 89 of the demolished homes were already completed. The absolute majority of the latter were inhabited. The Israeli occupying authorities did not allow an opportunity to the o
