Amnesty Intl: Israel committed war crimes

Amnesty International issued a report that says:
First-hand information gathered by recent Amnesty International research missions to Lebanon and Israel points to an Israeli policy of deliberate destruction of Lebanese civilian infrastructure during the recent conflict.
And also that:
The Israeli Air Force launched more than 7,000 air attacks on about 7,000 targets in Lebanon between 12 July and 14 August, while the Navy conducted an additional 2,500 bombardments. The attacks, though widespread, particularly concentrated on certain areas. An estimated 1,183 people died, about one third of whom have been children, 4,054 people were injured and 970,000 Lebanese people have been displaced.
Compare that with 44 Israeli civilians dead. 44 Israeli civilians on one side, 1183 Lebanese on the other with a third of those children. The facts speak for themselves that if it is a terrorist who targets innocent people, Israel has killed far more innocent civilians in this war. Its claims that this was collateral damage rings hollow in the face of this AI report.
