The Geneva-based Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said the Israeli military will likely carry out a “new massacre” in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya, after the army issued new evacuation orders to people who have remained in the area.
Israeli forces will “wipe out the last remnants” of Beit Lahiya, and will cause yet another wave of mass displacement in the area, where some 50,000 Palestinians reside, the Monitor said in a statement.
Earlier, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee said on X the military “will use extreme force against terrorist infrastructure and subversive elements in the region,” telling residents to “evacuate the area immediately and head towards known shelters in blocks number 1770, 1766.”
However, the rights group has said that “nowhere is safe” in the besieged territory, pointing to Israeli attacks on places previously deemed “safe”.
The shelters the Israeli army asked Palestinians to flee to, Euro-Med said, are destroyed areas that are “unfit for any form of life, and lack water supply as well as functioning sewage systems.”
