Palestinian media and eyewitness accounts revealed that the Israeli occupation forces committed “field executions” and sniping of civilians in the northern Gaza Strip.
A video clip published by Tel Aviv Tribune showed the moment the occupation forces executed a child last Friday on Al-Nafaq Street in Jabalia Al-Balad, north of Gaza.
Another video broadcast by activists on social media platforms documented the moment of the direct execution of a citizen at the hands of the occupation army in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.
There are no clear numbers about the number of victims of field executions as a result of the intense Israeli siege, and the targeting of civil defense teams, ambulances, and journalists, but the Ministry of Health confirmed the presence of dozens of martyrs in the streets for days.
On October 5, the occupation army began unprecedented bombing operations on the camp and town of Jabalia and large areas in the northern Gaza Strip governorate, before announcing the next day the start of an invasion of these areas, under the pretext of “preventing the Hamas movement from regaining its power in the region,” while saying Palestinians: Israel wants to occupy the region and displace its residents.
Horrific atrocities
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observatory said that the Israeli army had turned schools used as shelters by tens of thousands of displaced people into field execution centers as part of the ongoing crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.
The Observatory confirmed that it received testimonies about Israeli army forces carrying out field executions and unjustified killings against Palestinian civilians after they were besieged for days inside schools where they had sought refuge.
He stated that the testimonies showed horrific human atrocities and unjustified killings of civilians after their release, which indicates that there is no reason to shoot and kill them other than to satisfy the bloody desires of the soldiers and an expression of the comprehensive permissibility of Palestinian civilians.
With broad American support and in front of the whole world, Israel has been waging a genocidal war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, which, as of Tuesday afternoon, left 143,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded – most of them children and women – and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction. Famine killed dozens of children and the elderly, in one of the worst global humanitarian disasters.
