Hamas Accused of Killing Palestinians in Gaza

Amnesty International accuses Hamas of torturing, killing Palestinians in new report on Gaza conflict.

Amnesty International accused Hamas militants Wednesday of abducting, torturing, and carrying out summary executions of Palestinians during last year's conflict in the Gaza Strip.
