Since 2005, Israel Defense Forces have launched thousands of airstrikes[1] on the Gaza Strip from Israel as part of the continuing Gaza–Israel conflict.[2][3][4][5] The airstrikes, widely condemned for targeting civilians,[6][7] have been described as war crimes by the United Nations,[8] human rights groups Amnesty International[9] and Human Rights Watch.[10] The international community considers indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets to be illegal under international law.[11] Israel says the airstrikes are a response to the rocket attacks by Palestinian militants.[12]
