The first air strike killed some 40 police trainees and was followed by dozens of air strikes that increased the death toll to over 270 people in a single day.
Over the 22-day offense, Israel deployed its air force, its ground troops and its navy with the declared aim of halting the firing of rockets into its cities from Palestinian territory in Gaza.
The Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem said in September that 1,387 Palestinians were killed in the war – 773 civilians, 330 combatants, 248 Hamas policemen and 36 people whom the group was unable to classify as combatants or non-combatants.
In October, the United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a report by a UN mission led by South African jurist Richard Goldstone which said Israel and Hamas were both guilty of war crimes.
The report calls for the UN Security Council to refer the matter to the International Criminal Court if the Israelis or Palestinians fail to investigate the alleged crimes themselves.trt
