Raketattack från Gaza

Tisdag kväll sköts en raket från Gaza mot Israel. Raketen exploderade i närheten av Ashdod men förorsakade ingen skada. Det var den första raketen med längre räckvidd som skjutits mot Israel sedan vapenvilan senaste höst trädde i kraft. För en månad sedan sköts en raket mot Sderot nära gränsen till Gaza.
Israel svarade på raketattacken och varnade Hamas för att de hålls ansvariga för attacker från Gaza trots att det kanske inte var Hamas utan Islamsk jihad som stod bakom den senaste attacken.

Amnesty: Hamas guilty of war crimes against Palestinians during Gaza war (Jerusalem Post)

 Hamas forces carried out a brutal campaign of abductions, torture, and unlawful killings against Palestinians accused of “collaborating” with Israel and others during Operation Protective Edge last year, according to a report published on Wednesday by Amnesty International.

 “In the chaos of the conflict, the de facto Hamas administration granted its security forces free rein to carry out horrific abuses, including against people in custody. These spine-chilling actions, some of which amount to war crimes, were designed to extract revenge and spread fear across the Gaza Strip.”

The report said that many of the unlawful killings were publicly billed as attacks against people assisting Israel during the war, as part of an operation codenamed “Strangling Necks” to target “collaborators.”

According to the report, at least 16 of those executed had been in Hamas custody since before the war erupted. “Many had been awaiting the outcome of their trials when they were taken away from prison and summarily executed,” it added."

 The Hamas official said that Israel alone bears the responsibility for the killing of “collaborators” because it launched airstrikes on security installations where they were being held.
