The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) unreservedly condemns the decisions made by the Military Prosecutor of Operational Affairs to close the cases of the al-Dalu and al-Shawwa families without initiating prosecutions.
On 11 April 2013, PCHR received two responses from the Military Prosecutor of Operational Affairs stating that neither allegations of criminal violations nor violations of the law of war by a military body were found in the cases of al-Dalu and al-Shawwa.
The attack on the al-Dalu family took place on 18 November 2012, when an Israeli warplane bombed a civilian house belonging to the al-Dalu family, in al-Nasser neighborhood. 12 civilians were killed in the attack, including five children, five women and two young men, from the al-Dalu and al-Muzannar families. Six others in the neighboring houses were wounded.
In the attack on the al-Shawwa family that happened on 20 November 2012, an Israeli warplane targeted an apartment belonging to the family of Basel Mortada Sa'id al-Shawwa, on Baghdad street in al-Shuja'iya neighborhood, in eastern Gaza City. The attack resulted in the killing of four civilians, the woundeing of six passers-by who were in front of the apartment, and the complete destruction of the targeted apartment.
