This investigation by The Guardian into Israeli war crimes in Gaza includes some very important documentation on the extent of the horrifying atrocities committed against Palestinian civilians. While the details of these crimes will come as no surprise to many people who monitored these events closely, the films are important.

Excerpt:

[The war crimes include] the use of Palestinian children as human shields and the targeting of medics and hospitals.

A month-long investigation also obtained evidence of civilians being hit by fire from unmanned drone aircraft said to be so accurate that their operators can tell the colour of the clothes worn by a target.

The testimonies form the basis of three Guardian films which add weight to calls this week for a full inquiry into the events surrounding Operation Cast Lead, which was aimed at Hamas but left about 1,400 Palestinians dead, including more than 300 children.
