In the context of Gaza, crimes against humanity are acts like deliberate murder, killing, bombarding large number of occupied people that are part of a widespread or systematic attack on the Palestinian population. They include offenses such as extermination, imprisonment, and persecution against the Palestinians. They are distinct from war crimes or genocide by the requirement that the acts be part of a large-scale or organized attack, not just isolated incidents.
Domicide (from Latin domus, meaning home or abode, and caedo, meaning deliberate killing, though used here metaphorically) is the deliberate destruction of housing in pursuit of specified goals. In Gaza, the latter is the Israeli goal to make the enclave unlivable.
International law does not currently recognize "domicide" as a distinct crime. However, the widespread or systematic destruction of civilian homes during war is already addressed under existing international humanitarian law, where such destruction can constitute a war crime or a crime against humanity if it violates the prohibition against attacking civilian objects or is part of a widespread attack against a civilian population. Some experts and U.N. officials are advocating for domicide to be explicitly codified as a crime to provide stronger legal protection for homes in conflict.
