The 173-page report details systematic assaults, including murder and torture, with 1,221 killed and 251 hostages taken during Hamas's October 7 attack, Amnesty said.
- On Thursday, Amnesty International published a 173-page report accusing Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups of crimes against humanity, including extermination, tied to the October 7, 2023 attack.
- The October 7, 2023 assault prompted the Gaza war and investigations into abuses and human rights violations against hostages held in Gaza during the ensuing two years.
- The research team examined more than 350 verified open-source photographs and video clips and interviewed survivors, victims' families, first responders and forensics personnel, documenting 19 separate cases of mutilation or burning and confirming sexual assault with scope undetermined.
- The report may prompt legal and political actors to debate allegations of war crimes tied to October 7, 2023, after Amnesty International accused Hamas and previously said Israel is `still committing genocide`.
- Beyond the headline allegations, Amnesty International says the October 7, 2023 attacks were a systematic campaign of rape, torture, and murder and confirmed Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade's active role.
