Gaza family files complaint against French company for complicity in war crimes

‘A Palestinian family from Gaza City has filed a complaint against a French company, accusing it of complicity in war crimes for manufacturing a component of an Israeli missile that targeted the family’s home in 2014, killing three children.
The Shuhaiber family say five children were feeding pigeons on their grandfather’s roof when a missile struck the home on 17 July 2014.
