The attack involved:
Jet fighters
Napalm bombs
Torpedo boats (one torpedo hit the ship directly)
Machine-gunning life rafts in the water (one of the most contentious actions)
In multiple operations, Israel has been accused of:
Bombing UN facilities (e.g., UNRWA schools in Gaza)
Destroying water treatment plants, hospitals, power stations
Blocking humanitarian aid access
Allegations:
Transferring population into occupied territory (i.e., building Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem) is considered a war crime under Article 8 of the Rome Statute.
Systematic land confiscation, home demolitions, and displacement of Palestinian communities.
International View: Most countries and the UN consider Israeli settlements illegal; Israel disputes this.
ICC Investigation: The International Criminal Court opened a formal investigation in 2021 into alleged crimes in Palestinian territories since 2014, including settlement activity.
Context: During the "Great March of Return" protests along the Gaza-Israel border.
Casualties: Over 200 Palestinians killed, many by sniper fire; thousands injured.
UN Human Rights Council: Found reasonable grounds to believe Israeli snipers unlawfully shot civilians, including children, medics, and journalists.
Israel's Response: Denied wrongdoing, saying Hamas used civilians as cover for attacks.
