Three days ago, Amnesty International reported that Israel is guilty of various war crimes such as the killing of civilian woman and children.
Amnesty reports that Israel has launched unprovoked attacks against civilian residents, which have killed 104 people, including the deaths of 62 children. July 8 of this year, Israel instated Operation Protective Edge, killing more than 2, 200 people and wounding numerous others, almost all of which were innocent civilians. “Israeli forces have brazenly flouted the laws of war by carrying out a series of attacks on civilian homes, displaying callous indifference to the carnage caused,” said Philip Luther, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Amnesty International. “Even if a fighter had been present in one of these residential homes, it would not absolve Israel of its obligation to take every feasible precaution to protect the lives of civilians caught up in the fighting.” | |
