Israel’s Attacks on Gaza Since October 7, 2023 and International Law

The present Report examines Israel’s attacks from legal perspective depend ing on the relevant rules of international law. In this sense, the Report handles three main issues. The first is whether Israel’s attacks can be justified on the basis of the right to self-defense. The second concerns the violations of international humanitarian law and the related crimes resulting from the violations. Finally, the Report evaluates the ongoing judicial processes initiated against or related to Israel.

It is of great importance that the attacks on Gaza that Israel launched on October 7, 2023 and continues to this day should be evaluated based on the relevant principles and rules of international law for certain reasons. The fact that international political mechanisms have been ineffective against Israel to date makes it even more important to conduct legal assessments and carry out legal processes. Whereas, three different international judicial processes have already been initiated and are ongoing against or regarding Israel. All of these demonstrate that it is of great importance to identify Israel’s legal violations; to reveal the other fundamental rights of Palestinians that have been severely violated, especially the right to life; to compensate for the damages caused by the violations within the framework of appropriate political conditions and to punish those responsible.
