Euro-Med: Khan Yunis is witnessing one of the bloodiest chapter as the genocide continues
GAZA, July 23 (YPA) – The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, stated that Khan Younis is witnessing one of its bloodiest periods as the genocide perpetrated by the Zionist enemy entity continues in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli occupation army killed 70 Palestinians and wounded 200 others, mostly children and women, in less than 12 hours in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, the Euro-Med said in a statement issued on Monday.
The statement pointed out that hundreds of thousands of civilians have received new evacuation orders in the area.
The crimes committed by the Israeli army against civilians are well-established and consistent. These crimes include killing, mass murder, starvation, denial of humanitarian aid entry, forced evacuation, destruction of civilian objects, and denial of any kind of stability, as has been the case in Khan Yunis since Monday morning. Such actions suggest that the occupation is essentially destroying the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip in every way that it can, the statement indicated.
The Euro-Med pointed out that every time there is talk of going back to the negotiating table to reach a truce and an exchange agreement, the Israeli army purposefully increases the number of massacres and mass killings against Palestinian civilians.
It continued: “This raises concerns that Israel is engaging in political blackmail and pressure by using the killing and displacement of civilians as a tool, as it has done repeatedly in recent weeks.”
After carrying out a premeditated mass murder on Monday, the Israeli army launched dozens of raids, fire belts, and artillery shelling on homes, streets, and gatherings of displaced people. Thousands of these people fled into the streets in panic, looking for a safe place that did not exist.
The Euro-Med field team recorded the Israeli army bombing six homes on the heads of their occupants, out of the ten residences for which preliminary information was available since the start of the Israeli military operation on Khan Yunis.
The Euro-Med called on all nations to fulfil their international obligations by enacting strong sanctions against Israel and severing all political, financial, and military support and cooperation.
It further called on the International Criminal Court to investigate any and all crimes committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip.
