Conceptualizing Human Rights Violations in Israel-Hamas War: Analyzing Gaza Conflict (October 2023-November 2024)

Abstract

Egregious, unparalleled human rights breaches marked the Israeli assault on Gaza on 7 October 2023 and the subsequent ceasefire on 24 November 2024, stemming from a calculated political choice to disregard civilian casualties in favor of preserving the lives of Israeli troops. The breaches included assaults on medical workers and civilians, obstructing emergency medical evacuations, limiting healthcare access for the civilian populace, hindering referrals for treatment outside the Gaza Strip, and endangering the delivery of medical supplies and food. This paper will examine the transgressions of human rights and international humanitarian law by Israeli soldiers.
