Titolo: Lebanon: Hezbollah Rocket Attacks on Haifa Designed to Kill Civilians

Il fatto che secondo HRW ogni razzo lanciato da Hezbollah sia un crimine di 
guerra, stranamente sta ricevendo meno attenzione mediatica dei pronunciamenti 
sulle carenze di spiegazioni israeliane su Qana.
Riportiamolo:
" Attacking civilian areas indiscriminately is a serious violation of 
international humanitarian law and can constitute a WAR CRIME. "

Some Israeli Attacks Amount to War Crimes
(Beirut, August 3, 2006) - Israeli forces have systematically failed
to distinguish between combatants and civilians in their military
campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Human Rights Watch said in
report released today. The pattern of attacks in more than 20 cases
investigated by Human Rights Watch researchers in Lebanon indicates
that the failures cannot be dismissed as mere accidents and cannot be
blamed on wrongful Hezbollah practices. In some cases, these attacks
constitute war crimes.
 The pattern of attacks shows the Israeli military's disturbing
disregard for the lives of Lebanese civilians. Our research shows that
Israel's claim that Hezbollah fighters are hiding among civilians
does not explain, let alone justify, Israel's indiscriminate warfare.

The 50-page report, "Fatal Strikes: Israel's Indiscriminate Attacks
Against Civilians in Lebanon," analyzes almost two dozen cases of
Israeli air and artillery attacks on civilian homes and vehicles. Of
the 153 dead civilians named in the report, 63 are children. More than
500 people have been killed in Lebanon by Israeli fire since fighting
began on July 12, most of them civilians.
"The pattern of attacks shows the Israeli military's disturbing
disregard for the lives of Lebanese civilians," said Kenneth Roth,
executive director of Human Rights Watch. "Our research shows that
Israel's claim that Hezbollah fighters are hiding among civilians
does not explain, let alone justify, Israel's indiscriminate
warfare."
The report is based on extensive interviews with victims and witnesses
of attacks, visits to some blast sites, and information obtained from
hospitals, humanitarian groups, security forces and government
agencies. Human Rights Watch also conducted research in Israel,
assessing the weapons used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Human Rights Watch researchers found numerous cases in which the IDF
launched artillery and air attacks with limited or dubious military
objectives but excessive civilian cost. In many cases, Israeli forces
struck an area with no apparent military target. In some instances,
Israeli forces appear to have deliberately targeted civilians.
In one case, an Israeli air strike on July 13 destroyed the home of a
cleric known to have sympathy for Hezbollah but who was not known to
have taken any active part in the hostilities. Even if the IDF
considered him a legitimate target (and Human Rights Watch has no
evidence that he was), the strike killed him, his wife, their 10
children and the family's Sri Lankan maid.
On July 16, an Israeli aircraft fired on a civilian home in the village
of Aitaroun, killing 11 members of the al-Akhrass family, among them
seven Canadian-Lebanese dual nationals who were vacationing in the
village when the war began. Human Rights Watch independently
interviewed three villagers who vigorously denied that the family had
any connection to Hezbollah. Among the victims were children aged one,
three, five and seven.
The Israeli government has blamed Hezbollah for the high civilian
casualty toll in Lebanon, insisting that Hezbollah fighters have hidden
themselves and their weapons among the civilian population. However, in
none of the cases of civilian deaths documented in the report is there
evidence to suggest that Hezbollah was operating in or around the area
during or prior to the attack.
"Hezbollah fighters must not hide behind civilians - that's an
absolute - but the image that Israel has promoted of such shielding
as the cause of so high a civilian death toll is wrong," Roth said.
"In the many cases of civilian deaths examined by Human Rights Watch,
the location of Hezbollah troops and arms had nothing to do with the
deaths because there was no Hezbollah around."
Statements from Israeli government officials and military leaders
suggest that, at the very least, the IDF has blurred the distinction
between civilians and combatants, arguing that only people associated
with Hezbollah remain in southern Lebanon, so all are legitimate
targets of attack. Under international law, however, only civilians
directly participating in hostilities lose their immunity from attack.
Many civilians have been unable to flee because they are sick, wounded,
do not have the means to leave or are providing essential civil
services.
Many civilians are afraid to leave the south because the roads are
under Israeli attack. Hundreds of thousands of Lebanese have fled their
homes, but Israeli forces have fired with warplanes and artillery on
dozens of civilian vehicles, many flying white flags. Israel has
justified its attacks on roads by citing the need to target Hezbollah
fighters moving arms and block their transport routes.
However, none of the evidence gathered by Human Rights Watch or
reported to date by independent media sources indicate that any of the
attacks on vehicles documented in the report resulted in Hezbollah
casualties or the destruction of weapons. Rather, the attacks have
killed and wounded civilians who were fleeing their homes after the IDF
issued instructions to evacuate.
"Israeli warnings of imminent attacks do not turn civilians into
military targets," said Roth. "Otherwise, Palestinian militant
groups might 'warn' Israeli settlers to leave their settlements and
then feel justified in attacking those who remained."
Human Rights Watch urges Israel to immediately end indiscriminate
attacks and distinguish at all times between civilians and combatants.
Human Rights Watch also calls on the United States to immediately
suspend transfers of arms, ammunition, and other materiel credibly
alleged to have been used in violation of international humanitarian
law in Lebanon, until these violations cease. Human Rights Watch
further asks the Secretary-General of the United Nations to establish
an International Commission of Inquiry to investigate reports of such
violations, including possible war crimes, and to formulate
recommendations with a view to holding accountable those who violated
the law. That commission should examine both Israeli attacks in Lebanon
and Hezbollah attacks in Israel.
In previous reporting, Human Rights Watch has addressed the conduct of
Hezbollah forces, condemning its attacks on civilian areas as serious
violations of international humanitarian law amounting to war crimes.
Human Rights Watch has called on the governments of Syria and Iran to
use their influence on Hezbollah to promote respect for the laws of
war. In this report, it urges Hezbollah to take all feasible steps to
avoid locating military objectives within or near densely populated
areas and to remove civilian persons and objects under its control from
the vicinity of military objectives.
