Today, Tuesday 27 December 2011, marks the third anniversary of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip (code-named “Operation Cast Lead” (OCL)). During this 22-day military operation, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) killed hundreds of Palestinians, destroyed and razed tens of thousands of residential houses, public facilities, and agricultural infrastructure, detained hundreds of Palestinians and subjected them to torture, and used civilians, including children, as human shields.
Operation Cast Lead was unprecedented in its scope and brutality. The IOF attacked civilians and civilian objects in flagrant violation of international law, conduct that rises to the level of war crimes and may have constituted crimes against humanity, as described by the UN Fact-Finding Mission.
