Human Rights Watch says displacement of Palestinians in Gaza is ‘crime against humanity’

Human Rights Watch has released a damning new report that claims the forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza is a “crime against humanity,” and alleging that in some areas of the Gaza Strip where it has bulldozed civilian infrastructure, Israel has committed ethnic cleansing. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the report. Israel says it does not deliberately target civilians and blames Hamas for operating in residential areas.
