A Palestinian boy sits near houses damaged during the three-week offensive Israel launched last December, in Jabalya in the northern Gaza Strip July 2, 2009. Amnesty International said on Thursday Israel inflicted "wanton destruction" in the Gaza Strip in attacks that often targeted Palestinian civilians during an offensive in December and January in the Hamas-run enclave. The London-based rights group, in a 117-page report on the 22 days of fighting, also criticised the Islamist movement Hamas for rocket attacks on Israel, which it called "war crimes".
