AMNESTY International accused Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups of having committed war crimes during the 2014 Israeli aggression by killing Israeli and Palestinian civilians with indiscriminate projectiles.
The report follows two others issued in late 2014 that accused Israel of war crimes for attacks on multistorey civilian buildings and Palestinian homes during the war.
The 50-day Gaza war left more than 2,100 Palestinians dead, mostly civilians. On the Israeli side, 66 soldiers and six civilians were killed.
Amnesty accused Palestinian militants of having launched unguided rockets and mortars from civilian areas toward other civilian areas in breach of international law.
Six civilians in Israel were killed in such attacks and 13 Palestinian civilians perished when a Palestinian projectile landed in a Gaza refugee camp.
Hamas official Taher al-Nounou denied the allegations in the Amnesty report, accusing it of relying on the Israeli narrative and adding that Hamas did not target civilians.
