Hezbollah accused of war crimes
The BBC reports that Amnesty International has followed its condemnation of Israel for war crimes with a condemnation of Hezbollah – for war crimes. Israel targeted Lebanon’s civilian infrastructure. Hezbollah deliberately aimed rockets at civilian buildings. Tit for tat, an eye for an eye, blood calling out to blood. The cycle of hatred that no one seems able to stop.
Amnesty repeated its call for “a comprehensive, independent and impartial inquiry” by the UN into the violations and to ensure there was “full reparation” to victims.
It said those responsible for civilian suffering were “escaping all accountability”.
Ms Khan said: “Justice is urgently needed if respect for the rules of war is ever to be taken seriously.”
