The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights considered on Wednesday that the Israeli bombing of the Jabalia Palestinian refugee camp in the Gaza Strip “may amount to war crimes.”

A UNHCR post on the “X” platform said, “Given the large number of civilian casualties and the scale of destruction following the Israeli air strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp, we have serious concerns that these are disproportionate attacks that could amount to war crimes.”

Yesterday, Tuesday, the Israeli occupation forces committed one of the largest Israeli massacres in the Gaza Strip, after targeting an entire residential neighborhood in Jabalia Camp, which is one of the largest Palestinian camps in the Gaza Strip and the most densely populated, not only in Gaza but in the world.

Today, Wednesday, the bombing of Jabalia refugee camp, north of the Gaza Strip, was renewed, targeting residential buildings, leading to the fall of many martyrs.

Shortly after the Israeli massacre, yesterday, Tuesday, the government media office in Gaza announced that the residential square targeted by the occupation in Jabalia was one of the most crowded in the Strip.

The Israeli bombing of the camp targeted about 10 densely populated homes, leaving behind an estimated 400 Palestinians killed or wounded, according to what the Ministry of Interior in the Gaza Strip announced. The spokesman for the Ministry of Interior in Gaza said that the occupation aircraft used approximately 6 bombs, each weighing a ton of explosives, during their attack.
