Amnesty International
just called for a UN probe of war crimes on all sides in the Israel-Gaza crisis and arms embargo.
Since Israel launched Operation “Protective Edge” in the early morning
of 8 July, more than 100 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza
Strip, most of them civilians who were not directly participating in
hostilities. This includes at least 24 children and 16 women as of
Friday morning. More than 600 people have been wounded, many of them
seriously. More than 340 homes in Gaza have been completely destroyed or
left uninhabitable and at least five health facilities and three
ambulances have been damaged. In Israel, at least 20 people have been
wounded by rocket attacks and property has been damaged...
Meanwhile, Palestinian armed groups in the Gaza Strip have
fired more than 600 indiscriminate rockets at Israel, including at major
Israeli cities such as Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Be’er Sheva, Ashkelon and
Hadera, placing millions of people at risk. A Hamas spokesperson has
stated that all Israelis are legitimate targets.
