The ICRC estimated that at least 118 people were killed and more than 550 wounded during the fighting in the week up to June 15.[21] Human Rights Watch accused both sides with violations of international humanitarian law. Including the targeting and killing of civilians, public executions of political opponents and captives, throwing prisoners off high-rise apartment buildings, fighting in hospitals, and shooting from a jeep marked with "TV" insignias.[22] The International Committee of the Red Cross has denounced attacks in and around two hospitals in the northern part of the Gaza strip.[23] The Israeli government closed all check-points on the borders of Gaza in response to the violence.
