Palestinian terrorist groups groups committed “numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity” against civilians during the October 7th attack in southern Israel, according to a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report released Wednesday.

In a 236-page report titled “‘I Can’t Erase All the Blood from My Mind’: Palestinian Armed Groups’ October 7 Assault on Israel,” the rights watchdog said that the October 7 attack was “directed against a civilian population,” and that “killing civilians and taking hostages were central aims of the planned attack, not an afterthought, a plan gone awry, or isolated acts.”

KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with HRW program Director Sari Bashi about the report.
