Euro-Med: Israel continues its crimes in Gaza despite the decision of ICJ

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observatory said that it documented, two days after the International Court of Justice approved temporary measures to stop genocide in the Gaza Strip, that the Israeli occupation army continued to kill, forcibly displace, and starve civilians, at the same previous pace.


Euro-Med indicated in a statement that it had documented the Israeli army’s killing of more than 373 Palestinians, including 345 civilians, in addition to more than 643 injuries, since the court’s decision was issued.


He added that Israel continues to ignore the decision of the highest court in the world, and to violate its international obligations, including the rules and principles of international law, by insisting on continuing to commit grave violations that amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, including genocide against the Palestinians.


It explained that in addition to the non-stop Israeli bombing operations, including the destruction of residential homes on the heads of their residents and the forcible killing of displaced people after they were terrorized and responded to illegal Israeli evacuation orders, Israel continues its attack on what remains of the health system in Gaza, and besieges the hospitals that remain partially functioning in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, directly targeting it.

Euro-Med confirmed that the Israeli army forces did not commit to implementing any of the measures of the Court of Justice, as they continued to deliberately kill and target civilians on a large scale and without military necessity or proportionality in dozens of cases. They also continued the process of systematic and widespread destruction of civilian objects, including homes and gatherings. Residential areas, neighborhoods, and certain areas witnessed horrific crimes, which comes within the framework of destroying evidence of the commission of the crime of genocide.


The Euro-Mediterranean Observatory indicated that during the past two days, more dead and dead were buried in the courtyard of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis because it was not possible to transfer them to the cemetery where the Israeli forces are stationed, confirming that it documented at least four other mass and random burial sites in the squares, schools and streets of Khan Yunis.

The Euro-Med Monitor said that Israel is still deliberately obstructing the arrival of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip in general, and placing more stringent restrictions on its entry into the northern Gaza Valley in particular, where the famine situation is worsening 114 days after the start of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

It stated that over the past few days, settlers have obstructed the entry of humanitarian aid through the Kerem Shalom crossing, east of Rafah, stressing that the number of aid trucks decreased to only 87 trucks during the past two days compared to the previous days, which witnessed an average of 100 trucks per day.

It confirmed that the Israeli army continues to target hundreds of Palestinians as they gather on Salah al-Din Street in southern Gaza to wait for trucks carrying aid. Dozens of displaced people were also injured in shelters set up in a school in the Al-Amal neighborhood after tents caught fire as a result of the Israeli bombing.


This comes at a time when Euro-Med documented the severe suffering of thousands of residents during their forced displacement from the Khan Yunis refugee camp and several other areas in the governorate to the western coastal areas, amid rainy and cold weather and Israeli intimidation and torture measures, and without the availability of any alternative or safe shelter that meets the minimum humanitarian needs. .


The Israeli army issued new evacuation orders in a new number of areas of Khan Yunis, with a total area of more than four square kilometers, and published these orders via social media, despite the ongoing outage of electricity, communications, and Internet services in the Strip.


Following the intense Israeli bombing of Khan Yunis and the central region of the Gaza Strip in recent days, in addition to new Israeli military evacuation orders, thousands of new displaced people forcibly moved to the city of Rafah in the far south of the Strip.

According to the Observatory, the Israeli army continued to destroy entire residential squares, although it was not possible to accurately estimate this destruction, in addition to destroying all buildings at a depth ranging between 1,000-1,500 meters from the border fence in the eastern Gaza Strip, with the aim of establishing a buffer zone that would cut off more than 15% of the area of the Gaza Strip.

The Euro-Med team monitored the establishment of a security checkpoint by Israeli army forces on Al-Bahr Street, west of Khan Yunis camp, south of the Gaza Strip, after closing all the side streets that residents had been using during the past days to flee the camp.


It pointed to the continuation of official Israeli statements that reflect intentions to continue committing the crime of genocide.

The Euro-Mediterranean Observatory stressed that these developments require the international community to quickly take a binding executive decision on the decision of the International Court of Justice, work on an immediate ceasefire, ensure the protection of civilians and their return to their homes, and intensify work by international and international institutions to monitor, monitor and document Israel’s violations of the court’s decision. Report these violations and disseminate them widely.
