Amnesty International on Thursday called for Israeli attacks on Lebanon to be investigated as war crimes, revealing that some of the strikes wiped out entire families.

Israel launched major airstrikes and a ground invasion on Lebanon after Hezbollah joined the Middle East war on March 2 on the side of Iran.

Israeli attacks since have killed more than 4,300 people, according to Lebanese authorities, including more than 250 children.

Amnesty analyzed three strikes on civilian homes between March 6 and 13, in which 24 civilians were killed, 12 of them children.

The London-based rights group accused Israel of "wiping out families" in those strikes and called for them to be treated as "war crimes."
