Amnesty International believes, that some of the acts by the IDF described in this Executive Summary, amount to grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention and are war crimes. These acts include unlawful killings; the torture and ill-treatment of prisoners; wanton destruction of property after the end of military operations; the blocking of ambulances and denial of humanitarian assistance; and the use of Palestinian civilians to assist in military operations. This is an Executive Summary of a 76 page report (MDE 15/143/2002).
