Abstract
In 2014, a Dutch Palestinian man, Mr. Ismail Ziada, lost six close family members in an Israeli airstrike labeled “Operation Protective Edge,”—a seven weeklong military offensive, waged by the Israeli defense forces (“IDF”) in the Gaza Strip. The family’s home, which was destroyed as a result of the attacks, was situated within the Al-Burej refugee camp. Shortly thereafter, the United Nation General Assembly established these attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure were orchestrated by senior military officials, and strongly indicated the acts constituted a commission of war crimes in violation of international humanitarian law, international human rights law, and international criminal law.
