Description | Amnesty International has condemned Israel's destruction of Palestinian homes as "war crimes".
In a new report the human rights group accuses Israel of destroying more than 3,000 Palestinian homes in the current three-and-a-half year intifada.
Tens of thousands have been left homeless as the demolition reaches "unprecedented levels", Amnesty says.
Israel says the house demolitions are necessary to protect the security of its citizens against "terrorism".
The report comes as Israel launched fresh operations in the Rafah refugee camp on the Israel-Egypt border, which it says are aimed at destroying what it calls weapons-smuggling tunnels.
