Shafaqna wrote from the Guardian: Almost nine out of every 10 Israeli military investigations into allegations of war crimes or abuse by its soldiers since the start of the war in Gaza have been abandoned without finding a culprit or without a conclusion.
The Action Against Armed Violence (AOAV) group said: Unsolved investigations include the killing of at least 112 Palestinians in a flour line in Gaza City in February 2024 and an air strike that killed 45 people in a tent camp in Rafah in May 2024.
The investigation into the killing of 31 Palestinians who went to a food distribution point in Rafah on June 1 has also been closed without any specific conclusions.
The report explicitly accuses Israel of creating a “pattern of impunity” by failing to conclude or find any fault in the vast majority of cases involving “the most serious or public allegations of violations by its forces.” This is despite Israel claiming to have two mechanisms for recording and pursuing crimes: the Military Prosecutor’s Office and fact-finding assessments.
The international watchdog found reports in English-language media of 52 cases in which the Israeli military said it had conducted or would conduct investigations following allegations of harm to civilians or crimes by its forces in Gaza or the West Bank between October 2023 and the end of June 2025. These cases involve the deaths of 1,303 Palestinians and the injury of 1,880. However, only two soldiers were sentenced to very short prison terms.
It is worth noting that Israel has killed more than 60,000 people in this strip since the start of the Gaza war and reduced 90% of it to a pile of dust.
When the Zionist regime is condemned by the International Criminal Court and an arrest warrant is issued by international courts for Benjamin Netanyahu and other criminal officials of this regime, while this verdict is not implemented by other countries and even the judges of the International Criminal Court are sanctioned by the United States government, talking about the investigation of war crimes committed by Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip by the courts of this regime becomes ridiculous. In this ridiculous process, it is also observed that many cases are closed and in practice the Zionist regime loudly announces that it is not only a war criminal, but also seeks to cover up its crimes and make a humanitarian gesture by using deceptive operations such as holding a trial for these crimes. A gesture that deceives uninformed audiences well. The people of the world have come to understand that the image created of Israel in recent years is nothing more than a lie and that they are facing a terrorist and war criminal state.
