GENEVA (AN) — U.N. human rights chief Michele Bachelet raised the possibility on Thursday that Israel's military committed war crimes by launching air strikes in densely populated civilian areas during its latest war with Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers.
Bachelet, who heads the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, or OHCHR, spoke at a special session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva to assess Palestinian areas of Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem in the wake of the fourth war between Israel and Hamas.
