They say Israel’s attacks “represent a flagrant violation” of international law.
“Israel’s attack and Iran’s response – with successive waves of attacks against each other’s territory – have resulted in many civilian casualties, confirming our grave concerns about this destructive cycle of violence,” the experts said in a statement.
“We are particularly alarmed by reports of the deaths and injuries of women and children, who are among the most vulnerable in armed conflict and disproportionately bear the brunt of such violence.”
The experts also questioned the timing of Israel’s first attacks on Iran, shortly before US and Iranian representatives were set to take part in nuclear talks.
“This aggravates the charges against Israel of posing a threat to peace and security in the region and beyond,” they said.
