UN mission: Some Israeli attacks on Iran may violate international law




The mission added in a press release, referring to the Israeli bombing, "Among the dead in Tehran were dozens of residents of a residential complex and three relief workers from the Iranian Red Crescent. The damaged sites included a clinic for children with autism and a hospital in Kermanshah."

"Along with reports of a lack of effective advance warning from Israel, which could impact the ability of residents to reach safety, this raises serious concerns about the principles of proportionality, distinction, and precaution under international humanitarian law," she said.

The mission stated that millions have fled Tehran so far, and that the lack of warning systems, adequate shelters, and internet restrictions have increased the risks.

After Israel bombed a notorious prison for political prisoners on Monday, experts expressed concern for detainees held near the bombing sites.

The mission's statement read, "The experts call on the Iranian authorities to move prisoners away from locations exposed to the risk of airstrikes ."

Since June 13, Israel has targeted nuclear facilities, missile bases, military leaders, and nuclear scientists in Iran, which has responded by striking Israeli military and intelligence headquarters with ballistic missiles and drones, leaving casualties on both sides.

At dawn on Sunday, the United States launched airstrikes on the strategic facilities of Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in Iran, complementing the military, intelligence, and logistical support Washington has been providing to Israel in its aggression against Iran.
