■Israel uses banned weapons against Lebanese civilians
7/17/2006 2:00:00 PM GMT
A statement issued Sunday by Lebanon's Cabinet accused Israel of using banned weapons against Lebanese civilians.
"We are facing a real annihilation carried out by Israel," Information Minister Ghazi Aridi said after an emergency cabinet meeting.
"Israel is using internationally prohibited weapons against civilians,"he added, without specifying the kind of weapons he accused the Israeli army of using.
Lebanese media reported earlier that Israel had used phosphorus incendiary bombs and vacuum bombs. But those reports weren't confirmed.
Amnesty International called on Israel, the Lebanese governments, and Hezbollah movement to put an end to the current escalation in the Lebanese territories which has so far claimed over 150 lives.
"It is vital at this time of rapidly rising tension that all parties observe the requirements of international humanitarian law, and that other governments take all appropriate steps to insist that they do so," the Amnesty said in a statement.
"Collective punishment"
"Israel must put an immediate end to attacks against civilians and against civilian infrastructure in Lebanon, which constitute collective punishment. Israel must also respect the principle of proportionality when targeting any military objectives or civilian objectives that may be used for military purposes," said Malcolm Smart, Director of Amnesty International's Middle East Programme.
International humanitarian law stipulates that armed forces should distinguish between combatants and civilians, between military objects and civilian objects, and prohibits indiscriminate attacks or attacks that inflict damage disproportionate to the anticipated concrete military advantage, Human Rights Watch said.
Amnesty accused the Israeli army of carrying out deliberate attacks throughout Lebanon targeting civilian objects, including Beirut international airport, bridges and an electricity power station.
Israeli airstrikes also hit Hezbollah-run Al Manar television station in Beirut and its relay station in Baalbek.
The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits "collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism ..." (Article 33).
Article 147 of the Convention states that "extensive destruction ... not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly," hostage-taking and "torture or inhuman treatment" constitute war crimes.
