IP - 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.

Iran Press/ West Asia: The organization spoke 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, in some cases wiped out entire families, Amnesty website https://www.amnesty.org/ reported.

Amnesty International presented an in-depth analysis of its findings in five of these unlawful attacks. In each of these cases, Israeli attacks violated international humanitarian law, including by failing to take feasible precautions to spare civilians, 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.

Since 7 October Israeli forces have launched thousands of air bombardments in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 4,000 people, mostly civilians, including more than 1,500 children, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.

Approximately 14,000 have been injured and more than 1,000 bodies are still trapped beneath the rubble.

Amnesty International is calling on the international community to urge Israel to end its total siege, which has cut Gazans off from food, water, electricity, and fuel, and urgently allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.+
