Israel’s military said it has dismissed two officers and reprimanded three others for their roles in the airstrike that killed seven aid workers in Gaza. Israel’s military admitted a series of grave mistakes, saying the soldiers mishandled critical information and violated the army’s rules of engagement. This comes as international pressure is mounting for Israel to do more to protect civilians in Gaza. The United Nations top human rights body has passed a resolution calling for Israel to be held accountable for possible war crimes in the Palestinian territory. The Human Rights Council has also called for a halt in arms sales to Israel. 28 countries voted in favor, six including the US and Germany voted against, and 13 abstained from the resolution. It’s the first time the UN body has taken a position on the war in Gaza. Analysis from DW’s Tania Kraemer in Jerusalem.
