Report: The occupying army demolishes about 300 housing units daily in Gaza using explosive-laden vehicles.

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor documented that the Israeli army is daily destroying approximately 300 residential units, either completely or partially, in the city of Gaza and the town of Jabalia using about 15 explosive-laden vehicles carrying nearly 100 tons of explosives, in a campaign aimed at erasing the city and displacing its residents.

The monitor confirmed, in a report today, that these explosions are occurring at an unprecedented rate, targeting entire neighborhoods in the areas of Jabalia town and Al-Nazla, as well as the neighborhoods of Al-Zeitoun, Al-Sabra, Al-Shuja'iyya, and Al-Tuffah in the south and east of the city, reaching the areas of Al-Saftawi and Abu Iskandar in the northwest of Gaza.

The monitor explained that each explosive-laden vehicle is capable of destroying about 20 residential units, which means the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians under lethal conditions, depriving them of any means of survival.

It added that these vehicles, often old troop carriers, are loaded with explosives and remotely operated in civilian neighborhoods to detonate them carefully, which amplifies their destructive impact and turns the operation into a systematic tool of psychological terror.

The monitor pointed out that the sound of the explosions reaches distances exceeding 40 km, reflecting the extent of the destruction caused by these vehicles, emphasizing that the international community is failing to hold Israel accountable, which has enabled it to continue committing these crimes openly and without legal justifications.

The monitor affirmed that the use of explosive-laden vehicles in residential areas constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law and is classified as a war crime and a crime against humanity, and is included among acts that may amount to genocide.

The Euro-Mediterranean Monitor called on the United Nations General Assembly to take immediate action under the "Uniting for Peace" resolution of 1950, to take collective measures to protect civilians, ensure access to humanitarian aid, end the blockade, and facilitate reconstruction.

The monitor clarified that more than one million Palestinians in the city of Gaza are facing an immediate existential threat due to the ongoing destruction, starvation policies, and decisions of forced displacement.
