Amnesty: Israel’s attacks on Palestinians are crime against humanity which must end
Washington (QNN) - Amnesty International on Tuesday called out ‘Israel’ an apartheid state, indicating that its continuous attacks against the Palestinian people are a crime against humanity.
"Apartheid is not just a relic of the past, it is the lived reality for Palestinians across Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories — it is happening to this day," said the human rights organization in a Twitter post.
It further added that it is monitoring reports of unlawful killings, arbitrary arrests, torture, and collective punishment.
The organization indicated that Israel’s apartheid is maintained through killings, torture, and denying Palestinians their basic rights.
The organization concluded that the violence acts committed against Palestinians are a crime against humanity that must end.
A 15-year-old Palestinian was shot and killed by Israeli forces during a military raid in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus on Thursday, marking the fifth Palestinian killed by Israeli forces and settlers in three days amid a surge in attacks.
Three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike targeting a vehicle in central Gaza on Thursday, including two civil defense workers, in another breach of the so-called ceasefire agreement amid continued daily attacks.
Israeli soldiers have been looting large amounts of civilian property from homes and businesses in southern Lebanon during the recent assault, according to a Haaretz report. The looting is widespread among Israeli forces, with similar incidents previously reported in Syria, Gaza, and during the previous assault in Lebanon.
