New York, 01 July-(ANA)-Israeli drones unlawfully killed at least 29 Palestinian civilians during the Gaza conflict six months ago, the rights group Human Rights Watch says.
It cited six attacks in which operators of pilotless aircraft allegedly failed to verify if targets were combatants as required by the laws of war.
In three of the alleged cases, the group said the unmanned aircraft had fired on children playing on rooftops.
Israel said all its actions and arms conformed with international law.
Israel has a fleet of US and domestically manufactured drones but will neither confirm nor deny that they carry weapons.
The 39-page report focuses on six alleged strikes, based on interviews with victims and witnesses, investigations of the attack sites, Israeli military and media reports on the fighting.
It says that other human rights groups have documented many more casualties from similar attacks.
Drone-launched missiles are considered among the most precise weapons in the world, the report says. (ANA)
