The explosion that killed and injured many civilians at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza on October 17, 2023, resulted from an apparent rocket-propelled munition, such as those commonly used by Palestinian armed groups, that hit the hospital grounds, Human Rights Watch said today. While misfires are frequent, further investigation is needed to determine who launched the apparent rocket and whether the laws of war were violated.

    Why does Human Rights Watch cite international law but not recognise the legitimacy of armed struggle against foreign occupation and domination? Am I missing something here? HRW has been doing this forever and I’m honestly asking why. That’s like both siding Russia and Ukraine.
