[Tribune de Geneve-Switzerland] Olivier Bot - "During its operations in Gaza last December, Israel abided by international law and acted in the same manner as other nations have done in the past when confronted with terrorism....If any crimes were committed, they will be punished," Daniel Taub, the Israeli Foreign Ministry's Senior Deputy Legal Adviser, told the UN Human Rights Council on Aug. 3 when he presented the conclusions of a 200-page report regarding the legal and factual aspects of Israel's Gaza operation last year. The Israeli report contains photographic evidence of sites used by Hamas combatants. "Hamas used what it learned during the Lebanese war, applying this tactic involving human shields and keeping its short range artillery mobile," Taub noted. Justifying Israel's operations on the grounds that Hamas has targeted Israeli civilians (more than 3,000 rockets last year), Taub contrasted the deliberateness of these attacks to the accidental loss of human life occasioned by Israel's military operations. 2009-08-07 06:00:00Full Article
