The Israeli military has admitted that its soldiers hid in an ambulance to infiltrate a refugee camp, which a UN expert labels a "flagrant violation" of international law.
Human rights expert Francesca Albanese stated, "Misusing the protected status of medical vehicles and personnel is a flagrant violation of the Geneva Conventions and may constitute a crime of perfidy."
Albanese further commented, "By systemically disregarding international humanitarian law, Israel has rendered the legal frameworks meant to protect civilians, completely meaningless."
Perfidy, defined as committing attacks while disguised as civilians or under protection, is the underlying principle the UN expert highlights in regards to this incident.
