The allegations made by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights are unfounded and devoid of truth.
The IDF has carried out an investigation into the claims based on the information made public and has no record of any operation, nor incident, in the Al Remal neighbourhood in Gaza City that would support any of the allegations put forward by OHCHR.
The fact that the United Nations publicly shares unverified and unsubstantiated claims made by NGOs is nothing but blood libel.
This is yet further evidence of the partisan and prejudiced approach of OHCHR when it comes to Israel and part of a concerning trend of publishing unverified information. We call on High Commissioner Volker Türk to publicly withdraw the accusations made by his office.
Israel is committed to the respect of its international obligations, and forcefully rejects any allegations of extrajudicial killings. We will continue to investigate any serious claims brought to Israel's attention.
