Israeli Occupation's Slaughter of Entire Families Fueled by International Silence
Gaza, 10 Sep (ONA) --- The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor stated that the horrific massacre committed by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) against the displaced persons in dilapidated tents in the area that the occupation had certainly declared "humanitarian" in Mawasi Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip today, is further evidence that the international silence on Israel's genocide against the Palestinians is encouraging Israel to commit more crimes.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor explained in a press statement that its initial investigations showed that Israeli warplanes dropped three American-made MK-84 bombs on a gathering of displaced persons' tents in the Mawasi Khan Younis area, while they were sleeping, creating three holes several meters deep and in diameter, and burying about 20 tents with the families inside them.
The Euro-Med Monitor warned that this massacre comes a month after another bloody massacre was committed by Israel, in which the IOF bombed Al-Tabi'een School that was sheltering displaced persons in Gaza City, slaughtering more than 100 Palestinian civilians (mostly mothers and children).
The human rights monitor stressed that, even if the allegations of the presence of armed factions in the area are true, the use of several bombs with such a severe destructive power and dropping them in an area that is known to be one of the most densely populated areas in the Gaza Strip, while civilians are sleeping, cannot be possibly justified in any way.
Today at dawn, the IOF committed a horrific massacre by bombing tents filled with displaced persons in Mawasi Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, slaughtering more than 40 Palestinian civilians, and wounding at least 60 others so far, as the numbers keep rising.
The Gaza Strip and other occupied Palestinian territories experience unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe due to the Israeli brutal, barbaric and heinous aggression and genocide committed against defenseless civilians in the strip and the occupied West Bank. The ongoing aggression in the Gaza Strip causes horrible health conditions following the persistent, deliberate attacks on medical buildings, hospitals and civil infrastructure, deliberately denying the entry of medical supplies and fuel needed by medical complexes, as well as preventing the access of aid convoys to the Strip in a flagrant violation of the International Humanitarian Law, Geneva Conventions and resolutions of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) amidst paralysis of the international community.
