Euro-Med Monitor’s teams documented the detonation of ten booby-trapped armoured vehicles this morning, Wednesday, 17 September, between residential homes in Street 8, south of Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood, one of Gaza City’s central residential areas.

The Israeli military’s targeting of rescue teams and paramedics during efforts to evacuate the wounded and extract survivors trapped under rubble in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, constitutes a compound war crime.

The Israeli military’s destruction of entire Palestinian cities and neighbourhoods in the Gaza Strip is a clear manifestation of the genocide Israel has been committing in Gaza for the past 14 months, and a primary tool for its implementation.

Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor documented dozens of deliberate killings and new field executions carried out by Israeli occupation forces against numerous civilians in northern Gaza.

The international community’s silence and inaction render it complicit in this brutal genocide.

Since the beginning of its large-scale attack against Lebanon, the Israeli army has committed more than 20 massacres of civilians, and has attempted to legitimize and justify them under the pretext of targeting military targets or carrying out military or political assassinations.

Israeli occupation forces have intensified their siege of the Jabalia camp and the surrounding neighborhoods, including Tal al-Zaatar, al-Sikka, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahia.

Thousands of families continue to bury their children in random mass graves, a phenomenon brought on by over 11 months of systematic killings of Palestinians by Israel in every Gaza Strip governorate.

The Israeli army’s horrific massacre of displaced families living in ramshackle tents in a so-called “humanitarian zone” in the southern Gaza Strip is further proof that the international community’s silence during the 11-month genocide is encouraging Israel to carry out its crimes.

Euro-Med Monitor teams are continuing to document what happened at Kamal Adwan Hospital today, and emphasized the need to open an international investigation into the horrific violations that the facility witnessed over the past several days against patients, displaced people, and medical staff as part of Israeli’s deliberate and systematic targeting of health facilities in the Gaza Strip since 7 October.
