Report: Israeli Violations of Palestinian rights at Unprecedented Levels

HeadlineJul 01, 2004

A new report by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel has found the scope and gravity of Israeli human rights violations in the Palestinian territories has reached unprecedented levels. The report cites the killings of innocent Palestinian civilians in the occupied territories as well as the construction of the massive separation wall through the West Bank. The human rights group was most critical of the Israel’s military invasion of Rafah in May. The report read “Soldiers opened fire indiscriminately, prevented the evacuation of the injured, killed dozens of people, some of whom were armed, but many more of whom were innocent children, women and men.”
