As Israeli forces continue to intensify their cataclysmic assault on the occupied Gaza Strip, Amnesty International has documented unlawful Israeli attacks, including indiscriminate attacks, which caused mass civilian casualties and must be investigated as war crimes, It said in a statement.
It said that it has spoken to survivors and eyewitnesses, analyzed satellite imagery, and verified photos and videos to investigate air bombardments carried out by Israeli forces between 7 and 12 October, which caused horrific destruction, and in some cases wiped out entire families. “In each of these cases, Israeli attacks violated international humanitarian law, including by failing to take feasible precautions to spare civilians, or by carrying out indiscriminate attacks that failed to distinguish between civilians and military objectives, or by carrying out attacks that may have been directed against civilian objects.
Agnes Callamard also wrote in twitter:
Horrific: reportedly 100s of patients and medical workers killed in bombing of Baptist Hospital al-Ahli in Gaza. This is the cost of the US and EU unreserved support for Israel: more civilians killed; more war crimes; more, more, more.
