GAZA, (PIC)
Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said on Saturday the Israeli army continues to carry out systematic and widespread destruction of residential areas and neighborhoods, civilian infrastructure and facilities, 15 days after International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) ruling which obliges Israel to take measures to prevent the commission of the crime of genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Euro-Med said Israeli forces have killed 1,864 Palestinians, including 690 children and 441 women, in addition to injuring more than 2,933 people since the court’s decision was issued last month.
“Thus, Israel continues to violate its international obligations and the decision of the highest court in the world by committing the crime of all crimes – the crime of genocide,” the rights group said.
Euro-Med reported that the Israeli army blew up at least 43 residential squares during this period, each square containing between 20-50 houses, especially in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, and continued to bomb and destroy houses, despite terminating its military operations there weeks ago.
