Human Rights Watch said Monday that the Israeli military's May bombings that leveled four high-rise buildings in Gaza were 'apparently unlawful' and possibly amount to war crimes.

' In addition to displacing thousands, the attacks 'destroyed civilian property worth millions of U.S. dollars,' the human rights group said. Forty-five-year old computer engineer Nihad Abdellatif Taha, who had a programming and digital marketing company, Portals, described the devasation to HRW. 'I had 36 employees and we were renting two apartments--360 square meters with furniture, offices, meeting rooms, surveillance cameras--all of this is gone,' he said.
