Amnesty International charges Palestinians with war crimes during Gaza conflict

Palestinian armed groups committed war crimes by indiscriminately firing rockets at civilians in Israel during the conflict between Israel and Hamas last summer, Amnesty International alleges in a report to be published on Thursday.

 

This is the first report by the London-based human rights group that specifically focuses on Palestinian rocket fire from Gaza.

 

“Palestinian armed groups, including the armed wing of Hamas, repeatedly launched unlawful attacks during the conflict, killing six and injuring civilians,” said Philip Luther, director of Amnesty’s Middle East and North Africa Program.
