Wow, this one's a shocker for me, as the UN Human Rights Council is better known for bashing Israel's military activity while paying little attention to what actually prompts it.
ere is the concluding paragraph of the U.N.'s advanced report on last fall's Operation Pillar of Defense, the eight-day operation Israel launched to reduce Hamas' ability to launch rocket attacks after dozens of these had rained down on Israel:
Palestinian armed groups continuously violated international humanitarian law, by launching indiscriminate attacks on Israel and by attacking civilians, thereby disregarding the principle of distinction. The armed groups failed to take all feasible precautions in attacks, in particular by launching rockets from populated areas, which put the population at grave risk. Furthermore, several Palestinians were killed by rockets launched by the armed groups that fell short and landed in the Gaza Strip. In addition, seven alleged collaborators held in DFA detention facilities were summarily executed, constituting a violation of their right to life and of international humanitarian law. link
Part A of the report does discuss Israel's actions. Of the roughly one hundred Arabs killed in the operation the reports cites a total of seven that Israel allegedly killed by mistake, not including two armed Arab boys who were killed while supposedly hunting birds, not Jews. The UNHRC claims other times civilians were killed by Israel were incidental to Israel hitting military leaders and targets, save for nine killed in four cases where the UNHRC failed to discern a military motive. While detailing civilian facilities that were hit the report acknowledges that civilian facilities used for military purposes lose their civilian character. The report does not claim that Israel launched ANY "indiscriminate" attacks. The UNHRC does bash Israel for failing the "proportionality" test without detailing what the limits of "proportionality" might be.
All in all, pretty good shooting by the IDF.
Oh, and that baby that was killed in the photograph used for propaganda? The report says a Hamas rocket apparently killed him, but didn't provide details.

.US never wants any religious in power in any country, specially Islam and shia which has strong politics view, that's why once a while one of it's cyber warriors put an article against our supreme leader in the forum.
