<\/p>

\r\n\tFor the first time since the beginning of the war, Amnesty International has published a damning report classifying Hamas’s actions on October 7, 2023, as crimes against humanity<\/strong><\/p>

The organization, known worldwide for its defense of human rights, concluded that the Palestinian terrorist group committed mass murder, torture, hostage-taking, enforced disappearance, sexual violence, and rape in a systematic and widespread manner.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe document, titled “Attacks on Civilians: Killings, Kidnappings and Other Violations by Palestinian Armed Groups in Israel and Gaza,” points out that the vast majority of civilians killed on that bloody Saturday were executed directly by Palestinian terrorists, and not by Israeli crossfire or bombings.<\/p>

\r\nThe report provides evidence that many hostages suffered brutal physical assaults and sexual violence while in captivity.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nAccording to Amnesty International, the main responsibility lies with the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, but other groups such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, and even Palestinian civilians who participated in the attacks are also to blame, albeit to a lesser degree.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe organization demanded the immediate return of all hostages still held in Gaza and, in particular, the remains of the last soldier whose body has not yet been handed over to Israel, Sergeant Major Ran Gvili.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nAlthough Amnesty International had accused Hamas of war crimes in the past, this is the first time the NGO has stated that the scale, cruelty, and planned nature of the violence have reached the level of crimes against humanity, one of the most serious accusations under international law.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe same report reaffirms the call for an immediate ceasefire and the unconditional release of all kidnapped civilians (although, at the time, the organization distinguished between civilians and Israeli soldiers held hostage).\r\n<\/p>

\r\nIt is worth remembering that, on other occasions, Amnesty International has harshly criticized both Israel-which it accused of genocide in Gaza in December 2024-and Iran, for its use of cluster bombs in the war against Israel.<\/p>

\r\nNow, with this new document, the organization makes it clear that Hamas has also committed atrocities that cannot be ignored or relativized.
