London - SABA:
Amnesty International has accused the Israeli army of launching indiscriminate attacks on civilians in Lebanon during the recent war, committing war crimes against citizens.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the human rights organization said: "There is mounting evidence of repeated violations of international humanitarian law," accusing Israeli forces of failing to distinguish between civilian and military targets in several strikes across different parts of Lebanon in 2023 and 2024.
Ramzi Kaiss, a Lebanese researcher at Amnesty International, stated: "More and more evidence shows that Israeli forces repeatedly fail to protect civilians and do not adequately distinguish between civilian and military targets in their strikes across various parts of Lebanon in 2023 and 2024."
Amnesty International pointed to two incidents it described as unlawful and likely constituting war crimes.
On September 25 last year, an enemy airstrike in northeastern Lebanon killed 23 members of a Syrian refugee family, including 13 children.
In another incident on November 1, 2024, a two-story residential building was bombed, resulting in the deaths of ten civilians.
It is worth noting that the Zionist enemy has not adhered to the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on November 27, 2024, and still controls areas in southern Lebanon, despite the agreement stipulating its complete withdrawal after the ground military operation. Additionally, Israeli forces continue to launch near-daily raids on southern Lebanon.
