In a new report, Amnesty International said Israel had treated Palestinians in Gaza as a 'subhuman group unworthy of human rights and dignity'. Israel has consistently denied allegations of genocide.

Human rights organisation Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. In a report released on Thursday, the organisation said Israel has "unleashed hell and destruction" since the October 7 attack on southern Israel , in which more than 1,200 people were killed, according to the Israeli government, and over 250 hostages taken.

"So if you're doing any of those actions for other reasons, then it wouldn't be genocide." The report noted Israel claimed its actions in Gaza were lawful and justified by the military goal of eradicating the military group Hamas. Earlier this year, during hearings at the United Nations International Court of Justice, Israel faced genocide allegations brought by South Africa.
