Rights Groups Say Israel Is Covering Up War Crimes Evidence as It Clears Gaza’s Rubble

In Gaza, Israeli attacks killed two Palestinians and injured several others on Thursday, with reports of airstrikes, mortar attacks and live fire. The strikes came as human rights groups warned Israel is conducting a massive effort to clear tens of thousands of tons of rubble from the Gaza Strip. The debris resulted from Israel’s near-daily attacks on Gaza since October 2023, which have killed at least 73,000 Palestinians. Some of the rubble is from cemeteries and other locations where human remains are known to exist, leading human rights groups to accuse Israel of attempting to erase evidence of war crimes. www.democracynow.org
