London, October 28 (RHC)-- Amnesty International has censured the Tel Aviv regime over killing Palestinians with intentional lethal force and without justification in the occupied West Bank.

The Britain-based human rights organization, in a report released on Tuesday, made reference to at least four incidents in which Palestinians were deliberately shot dead by Israeli forces. The victims posed no threat at all, and simply lost their lives in what were described as extrajudicial executions, according to Amnesty.

It added that injured Palestinians were in some cases left bleeding to death on the ground, and were denied medical assistance in flagrant violation of laws that prohibit torture and other forms of mistreatment

"There is mounting evidence that, as tensions have risen dramatically, in some cases, Israeli forces appear to have ripped up the rule book and resorted to extreme and unlawful measures. They seem increasingly prone to using lethal force against anyone they perceive as posing a threat, without ensuring that the threat is real," according to Philip Luther, the director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at Amnesty International.
