Israel’s military “demonstrated levels of totally unnecessary and incredible violence” in its 31 May raid on the humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza, according to a report by the UN Human Rights Council.
The report also concluded that Israel’s interception of the Mavi Marmara ship “was clearly unlawful”, that there is “clear evidence” to support prosecutions for the crimes of wilful killing, torture and inhuman treatment, and that Israel’s confiscation of video and photographic footage represented “a deliberate attempt by the Israeli authorities to suppress or destroy evidence”.
