I dagarna har Human Rights Watch släppt den första av två rapporter om de krigförande parternas förhållande till civilbefolkningen under Libanonkriget förra året. Rapporten fördömmer Hizbollah i starka ordalag (allt annat hade varit en skymf). Hinner inte skriva mer om detta idag, men läs absolut rapporten (se utdrag och länk nedan).
Hezbollah forces in Lebanon fired thousands of rockets into Israel, causing civilian casualties and damage to civilian structures. Hezbollah’s means of attack relied on unguided weapons that had no capacity to hit military targets with any precision. It repeatedly bombarded cities, towns, and villages without any apparent effort to distinguish between civilians and military objectives. In doing so, Hezbollah, as a party to an armed conflict governed by international humanitarian law, violated fundamental prohibitions against deliberate and indiscriminate attacks against civilians.
