Research group finds 'misleading descriptions' in Israel's ICJ submissions

Research group Forensic Architecture, which specialises in state violence, says it has uncovered evidence that Israeli advocates at the ICJ presented 'misleading descriptions' to the court.

The claims made by the group are detailed in a thread on social media site X, and include inaccurate Israeli claims that Palestinian fighters were operating in hospitals and other civilian buildings.

Forensic Architecture says that the claims that civilian sites were used by Palestinian fighters were then used to justify military targeting of those places.
