Investigation by Amnesty International Regarding Lebanon

Amnesty International revealed that "Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon killed 24 civilians in one week, including 12 children, in attacks that amount to war crimes."

The organization stressed, in a report, that "the investigations it conducted focused on three separate Israeli airstrikes, which resulted in the obliteration of three entire Lebanese families, in tragic scenes that reflect the brutality of the war and its repercussions on civilians."

It said: "On March 6, an Israeli airstrike destroyed the home of the Saleh family in the city of Tyre, where the father, Hussein, had left the house to buy breakfast supplies, and upon his return he found his home had turned into rubble, and lost 8 of his family members, including three children. He later said he spent three days collecting the body parts of his loved ones, adding: 'There was no trace of the house, no walls, no stones. My daughter Sarah was everything to me.' Six days later, the village of Irki witnessed a similar tragedy, where an Israeli bombardment targeted the home of the Taqi family, resulting in the killing of Muhammad Taqi, who lost his four daughters: Zainab (14 years old), Zahraa (12 years old), Malika (9 years old), and Yasmine (6 years old), along with his parents, his brother, his sister's husband, and his nephew (12 years old). Muhammad said he found Yasmine breathing, but she later died, while no trace of Zainab and Zahraa was found except for body parts days later."

It added: "The following day, another family was completely wiped out in Nabatieh, when the Israeli bombardment targeted the home of Qais Basma, who was killed along with his wife Blandine and his four children (Hassan, Hussein, Abbas, Helen) aged between 7 and 16, in addition to a neighbor of theirs. A relative of the family reported that Qais was a painter who struggled to support his family, adding that an entire family disappeared, as if they had never existed."

Amnesty International called on "the international community to take immediate action and impose a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel," demanding "the Lebanese authorities grant the International Criminal Court jurisdiction to investigate these crimes and prosecute their perpetrators," stressing "the need to immediately end the cycle of impunity."
