Amnesty International claims Israeli military committed war crimes during Gaza conflict
- 9 years ago
There is “strong evidence” of war crimes commissioned and committed by the Israeli military during the conflict in Gaza last year. That’s a conclusion in a report published by Amnesty International.
The Human Rights NGO focused on air and ground attacks by the Israelis in Rafah between August 1 and 4th when it was believed Hamas fighters had captured an Israeli soldier alive. The bombardments, it’s claimed killed at least 135 civilians in one day.
“It was the deadliest attack carried out by the Israeli military during the 50-day conflict in 2014. The Israeli military unleashed massive fire-power, massive bombardment of the southern city of Rafah, resulting in the highest number of civilian casualties on any day during the conflict,” said Philip Luther, Middle East and North Africa Director of Amnesty International.
The study was carried out in partnership with the London-based Forensic Architecture, a research project specialising in spatial analysis.
