UN suspects Israel of war crimes

Almaty. July 23. Silkroadnews - United Nations (UN) suspects Israel of war crimes, reports BBC Russian Service.
"UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay does not exclude that the Israeli army committed war crimes during the last two weeks, conducting large-scale operation against militants in the Gaza Strip", - said in a statement on Wednesday.
According to Pillay, UN experts have serious doubts that Israel has indeed taken steps to protect civilians, according to the government.
The death of seven children on the beach in Gaza last week may be "shocking evidence" supporting the blame of Israeli military, claims commissioner.
While Pillay condemned the rocket attacks by Hamas, which killed peaceful Israelis. The representative of Israel in the United Nations called the Commissioner word "thoughtless reaction", claiming that his country has acted on the principle of the protection of its territory.
