JERUSALEM // Israel committed war crimes in Gaza war: Amnesty: Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing war crimes during its assault on the Gaza Strip this summer, saying IT DISPLAYED CALLOUS INDIFFERENCE IN ATTACKS ON FAMILY HOMES IN THE DENSELY POPULATED COASTAL AREA. The Gaza war killed more than 2,100 Palestinians, including many civilians according to Palestinian and UN officials. Amnesty said in a report released on Wednesday that “ISRAELI FORCES KILLED SCORES OF PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS IN ATTACKS TARGETING HOUSES FULL OF FAMILIES, WHICH AMOUNTED TO WAR CRIMES. “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 Amnesty’s Middle East and North Africa programme. “The report exposes A PATTERN OF ATTACKS ON CIVILIAN HOMES BY ISRAELI FORCES WHICH HAVE SHOWN A SHOCKING DISREGARD FOR THE LIVES OF PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS, WHO WERE GIVEN NO WARNING AND HAD NO CHANCE TO FLEE,” Mr Luther said. thenational.ae/world/middle-east/israel-committed-war-crimes-in-gaza-war-amnesty
