“The extensive Israeli bombardment of Gaza, including the use of high-impact explosive weapons in densely populated areas ... is clearly having a devastating humanitarian and human rights impact.

But such conduct by Palestinian armed groups does not absolve Israel of its obligation to ensure that civilians are spared.”
