the occupying power bears overarching responsibility for ENFORCING human rights and punishing violations thereof, whether by its own forces or forces co-operating with it.

Therefore, what you wrote as "so Israel is responsible for the crimes" should be corrected and written as, "Israel is responsible for punishing the crimes". Which would then be actually true.

Edit: And before you ask, yes, I'm personally well aware that Israel withdrew ground troops temporarily. I'm clarifying what the human rights group said, not trying to argue on its behalf for a position that probably would strike most people as complicated. I'm sticking to the part where you read it as slamming blame for crimes of non-Israelis on Israel because that's not what it said.
