Amnesty International: US munitions killed 43 Palestinian civilians in two raids in Gaza

Amnesty International revealed on Monday that its new investigations confirmed that American munitions killed 43 Palestinian civilians in two Israeli air strikes that targeted homes in the Gaza Strip.


The international organization said in a series of blog posts published on its account on the “X” platform: “We demand an investigation into two Israeli raids that targeted civilians in Gaza as “war crimes.”


The organization explained that "the first Israeli raid, last October 10, targeted the Al-Najjar family's home in the city of Deir Al-Balah, killing 24 people."


The second raid, last October 22, targeted the home of the Abu Muailiq family in the same city, killing 19 people, according to the organization.


Both homes are located south of Wadi Gaza, within the area to which the Israeli army ordered residents of northern Gaza to move last October 13 and considered it “safe areas.”


It added: "The United States must immediately stop transferring weapons to Israel that are likely to be used to commit violations of international law."
