GAZA (PIC)– The victims of the Israeli siege rose to 291 patients after the death of a 30-year old patient called Hossam Helles from the Shujaiyeh neighborhood east of Gaza.
In a press statement received by the PIC the Palestinian health ministry said that the IOA denied the patient’s travel for medical treatment outside Gaza warning that the death toll is apt to increase especially since dozens of patients are in the intensive care units awaiting the opening of crossings.
In another context the Israeli Yediot Ahronot newspaper reported Wednesday that six Israeli law professors urged Israeli attorney general Menachem Mazuz to investigate the war crimes committed by the IOF troops in the Gaza Strip in order to block the way to any attempts to to take legal action against Israel before foreign courts.
The professors said that the information published in different media outlets form a good basis for filing serious indictments of violations of international law during the war on Gaza warning that Israel’s reluctance to investigate war crimes would prompt judicial bodies in many countries of the world to open investigation into such violations.
