‘Disproportionate
& indiscriminate attacks’: Amnesty accuses Israel of Gaza war crimes . . .
Israeli
forces committed “disproportionate” and “indiscriminate” attacks that killed
“scores of civilians” in the city of Rafah, Gaza, Amnesty International said in
a report which was immediately slammed as “fundamentally flawed” by Israel.
Between
135 and 200 civilians were killed in Rafah, the southernmost city in the Gaza
Strip in an intensive use of firepower by Israel, which lasted from August 1 to
4, 2014, according to Amnesty International report dubbed ‘Black Friday:
Carnage in Rafah’.
“There is
overwhelming evidence that Israeli forces committed disproportionate, or
otherwise indiscriminate, attacks which killed scores of civilians in their
homes, on the streets and in vehicles and injured many more,” says the Amnesty,
which together with Forensic Architecture, a research team from Goldsmiths,
University of London have presented a detailed reconstruction of the events in
the city.

Pemerhati
yang mengatakan bahawa pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh IDF termasuk
"berulang kali menembak meriam dan senjata lain tidak tepat bahan letupan
di kawasan awam padat dengan penduduk semasa serangan" di Rafah.
"Dalam
beberapa kes, terdapat tanda-tanda bahawa mereka terus melepaskan tembakan dan
membunuh orang awam, termasuk orang-orang yang melarikan diri."
Menurut
Amnesty, tentera Israel yang melakukannya "pelanggaran serius
undang-undang kemanusiaan antarabangsa dan merupakan pelanggaran kubur
Konvensyen Geneva Keempat atau jenayah perang yang lain."
"Komander
tentera Israel dan pegawai boleh beroperasi dalam keyakinan bahawa mereka tidak
mungkin untuk dipertanggungjawabkan kerana melanggar undang-undang antarabangsa
kerana iklim yang mencakupi semua aspek sewenang-wenangnya yang telah wujud
selama beberapa dekad. Ini adalah kerana, sebahagian besar, kekurangan siasatan
bebas, tidak berat sebelah dan berkesan."
Walau
bagaimanapun, pihak berkuasa Israel "gagal untuk menjalankan siasatan yang
tulen, berkesan, dan segera ke dalam mana-mana dakwaan pelanggaran serius
undang-undang kemanusiaan antarabangsa."
The
watchdog says that violations committed by IDF include “repeatedly firing artillery and other
imprecise explosive weapons in densely populated civilian areas during the
attacks” on Rafah.
“In some cases, there are indications that they
directly fired at and killed civilians, including people fleeing.”

2014, Israel committed possible war crimes that must be investigated (Dalam
#Rafah 2014, Israel melakukan jenayah perang mungkin yang perlu disiasat): http://amn.st/6013BELsD #50Days4Gaza
According
to Amnesty, Israeli forces performed “serious violations of international
humanitarian law and constituted grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention
or other war crimes.”
“Israeli
army commanders and officers can operate in confidence that they are unlikely
to be held accountable for violations of international law due to the pervasive
climate of impunity that has existed for decades. This is due, in large part,
to the lack of independent, impartial and effective investigations.”

However,
Israeli authorities “failed to
conduct genuine, effective, and prompt investigations into any of the
allegations of serious violations of international humanitarian law.”

Amnesty
International, bagaimanapun, tidak dibenarkan di Gaza Ogos 2014 oleh pihak
berkuasa Israel dan tidak boleh ada sekarang, tetapi kumpulan ini telah berjaya
mengumpul maklumat dari saksi serangan, Philip Luther, pengarah Amnesty Timur
Tengah ini dan program Afrika Utara, memberitahu RT.
"Kita
melihat beratus-ratus gambar, beratus-ratus klip video serta mengenal pasti
imej satelit yang mempunyai resolusi yang sangat tinggi sebagai menunjukkan
kemusnahan di Rafah kerana ianya berlaku."
Menurut
Eyal Weizman, penyiasat utama Architecture Forensik, kumpulannya masuk ke dalam
zonperang atau tempat-tempat di mana hak asasi manusia telah dicabuli atau
jenayah perang didakwa telah berlaku dan "melihat kesan keganasan yang
mati meninggalkan pada bangunan."
"Satu
model 3-D Rafah membolehkan kita untuk masa setiap gambar yang kita lihat tanda
pada bayang-bayang. Anda boleh imej rujukan
silang dan lihat di mana serangan itu berlaku, "katanya kepada RT.
'Histeria
kanak-kanak, kemusnahan & cendawan awan': orang awam Rafah menggambarkan
serangan
Amnesty
bercakap dengan ramai orang awam Rafah yang pulang ke rumah mereka sebelum serangan
sebagai Israel mengumumkan gencatan senjata di Semenanjung Gaza. Mereka
menyifatkan pesawat, helikopter dan hujan tembakan meriam di pejalan kaki, kereta dan juga
ambulans yang cuba untuk membantu mangsa yang tercedera.
"Anda
melihat histeria anak-anak, kemusnahan, dan cendawan awan, dan anda cuba untuk mendapatkan
sejauh dari mereka yang anda boleh," kata bapa kepada dua Wa'el al-Namla.
Satu
lagi orang awam Saleh Abu Mohsen diberitahu bahawa apabila serangan bermula
rakyat "telah melarikan diri dari rumah mereka dalam ketakutan."
"Orang
ramai berkaki ayam, wanita telah berjalan dengan kepala mereka ditemui, ianya
merupakan satu kejadian yang sangat sukar," katanya.
Seorang
ibu bersedih Abdel-Rahim Lafi menerangkan kepada pemerhati bagaimana anaknya mati
di hadapan beliau semasa serangan
"Anak
saya Yehya dan saya tingalkan rumah. Kami sampai ke bulatan Abu Youssef
al-Najjar apabila peluru berpandu pertama jatuh kira-kira 13 meter di hadapan
kita , , , saya terjatuh dan cedera di kaki kanan saya. Apabila saya melihat
sebelah saya saya dapati anak saya. Dia memandang ke arah saya untuk saat dan
meninggal dunia serta-merta selepas itu."
Laporan
Israel mengutuk Amnesty sebagai
'kelemahan asas'
Kementerian
Luar Israel telah menyelar laporan Amnesty International kepada jenayah IDF di
Gaza sebagai 'kelemahan asas", sambil menambah bahawa" sekali lagi
"pemerhati telah menunjukkan" obsessiveness kompulsif ke arah Israel."
"Metodologi
bahawa laporan itu adalah berdasarkan juga kelemahan asas, dan membawa ke dalam
standard profesional soalan serius Amnesty," kata kenyataan kementerian
itu, sambil menambah ia digunakan
"testimoni tidak disokong" rakyat Palestin.
Laporan
itu tidak mengambil kira "apa-apa berat sebelah berpotensi atau paksaan
oleh pihak berkuasa Hamas, atau hanya hakikat bahawa individu yang terperangkap
di tengah-tengah pertempuran adalah terhad dalam keupayaan mereka untuk mengetahui
sebab-sebab, kaedah dan niat pihak-pihak yang berperang," tambah
kementerian.
Amnesty
International, however, wasn’t allowed to Gaza in August 2014 by Israeli
authorities and is not allowed there now, but the group has managed to collect
the information from witnesses of the attacks, Philip Luther, director of
Amnesty's Middle East and North Africa program, told RT.
“We looked at hundreds of photographs, hundreds
of video clips as well as identifying satellite images that had very high
resolution as showed the destruction in Rafah as it was taking place.”
According
to Eyal Weizman, principal investigator of Forensic Architecture, his group
goes into the warzones or places where human rights were violated or war crimes
were alleged to have taken place and “look at traces the dead violence leaves
on building.”
“A 3-D
model of Rafah allow us to time every photograph in which we see a shadow mark
on. You can cross-reference images and view where the strike happened,” he told
RT.
‘Hysteria of children, destruction &
mushroom clouds’: Rafah
civilians describe attacks
Amnesty
spoke to many Rafah civilians who returned to their homes before the strikes as
Israel announced a ceasefire on the Gaza Strip. They described drones,
helicopters and artillery raining fire at pedestrians, cars and even ambulances
which were attempting to help the wounded.
“You see the hysteria of the children,
destruction, and mushroom clouds, and you try to get as far away from them as
you can,” said
father of two Wa’el al-Namla.

One
more civilian Saleh Abu Mohsen told that when attacks started people “were
running away from their homes in terror.”
“People
were barefoot, women were running with their heads uncovered, it was a very
difficult scene,” he added.
A
grieving mother Abdel-Rahim Lafi described to the watchdog how her son died
right in front of her during the assault
“My son
Yehya and I left the house. We reached the Abu Youssef al-Najjar roundabout
when the first missile fell about 13 meters ahead of us… I fell and was injured
in my right leg. When I looked next to me I found my son. He looked up at me
for seconds and died immediately after.”

Israel
slams Amnesty report as ‘fundamentally
flawed’
The
Israeli Foreign Ministry has slammed the Amnesty International report on IDF
crimes in Gaza as ‘fundamentally flawed”, adding that “once again” the watchdog has
shown “its compulsive
obsessiveness toward Israel.”
“The methodology that the report is based upon
is also fundamentally flawed, and brings into serious question Amnesty’s
professional standards,” said
the statement from the ministry, adding that it used “uncorroborated testimonies” of
Palestinians.
The
report doesn’t take into consideration “any potential biases or coercion by Hamas authorities, or simply the
fact that individuals caught in the middle of combat are limited in their
capacity to know the reasons, methodologies and intentions of the fighting
parties,” added the ministry.
