A report by Amnesty International UK says that Hamas committed abuses that amount to war crimes during last summer’s 50-day war with Israel.

The terror group was accused of using last summer’s conflict as a cover to execute 23 Palestinians.

According to the report, the killings were carried out to “settle scores” against opponents under the assumption they were “collaborators with Israel”.

The report also says Hamas arrested and tortured of dozens of others during the war, including members and supporters of political rival Fatah.
