An investigation by Israeli human rights group Yesh Din has found that of 573 cases of wrongdoing by the Israeli military in Gaza over the past decade, only one case led to a prosecution.

The rights group, which operates in the occupied West Bank, said it examined the results of Israeli military law enforcement related to three military operations in Gaza over the past 10 years. The lack of prosecutions points to a system of military law enforcement that is “evading properly investigating suspect war crimes”.

“Although Israel prides itself on its law enforcement system and presents it as functioning, there is considerable doubt whether the system has the ability or willingness to conduct thorough and effective investigations regarding serious suspicions of violations of the laws of war during the war in Gaza,” the group added.
