Incidents In The Gaza War (2008–2009)
Incidents in the Gaza War include incidents involving attacks against civilians, schools, a mosque, and naval confrontations. United Nations facilities A United Nations inquiry into attacks on UN personnel or facilities during the Gaza War (2008–09), Gaza War concluded that Israel had fired on U.N. personnel or facilities on eight separate incidents. The Board found no evidence that U.N. facilities had been used to launch attacks against the IDF. However, the Board's findings conclude only that violation of the inviolability of U.N. premises had occurred; its report does not make legal findings and does not consider whether laws of armed conflict were breached, as acknowledged by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. The Israeli Government report notes that indeed the test applied by the UN Inquiry Board was merely whether the physical premises of U.N. facilities had been affected and not whether the Laws of Armed Conflict were violated.
