On the night of Jan. 7 this year, three 250-pound bombs smashed into an apartment block in the Al Tuffah neighbourhood of northern Gaza. Footage of the aftermath shows walls collapsed, rubble piled up and blackened household items scattered across the scene.
Although a ceasefire has been in effect since October, and a Board of Peace led by US President Donald Trump has been announced to begin phase two of that process, Israel has continued to conduct strikes within Gaza
The IDF claimed they targeted a senior Hamas operative in response to a violation of the ceasefire agreement in the Jan. 7 attack.
Two people were reported to have been killed.
While the strike was an Israeli operation, among the debris were munition remnants of at least three US-made GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs, including one that failed to explode.
This identifies that we NEED to have an auditing-process that ALWAYS is included, on any weapons we sell to any other geopolitical-actor.
Always.
& an already-acting process where the use of our weapons in the committing of warcrimes automatically removes eligibility for more of the things, & possibly for more economic-engaging, outright.
Accountability is the ONLY means of coercing integrity into power, & if we won’t commit that, then we are criminal-accessories.
No point in pretending otherwise.
