The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has reiterated the need for conducting an independent and transparent investigation into all recent incidents that led to the killing and injury of Palestinian citizens on the Gaza border.
In a statement on Wednesday OHCHR said that Israeli soldiers may resort to lethal force in cases of extreme necessity as a last resort in response to an imminent threat of death or risk of serious injury.
According to the statement 25 children have been killed by Israeli forces during their participation in March of Return protests since March 30 with no regard for the continuous warnings and appeals launched by the UN and other international organizations and parties to put the protection of children first.
