The Israeli occupation army has ramped up its military operations in the Al Mawasi area of southern Gaza, converting what was euphemistically known as a "humanitarian zone" into a lethal trap to lure the Palestinians and destabilize any place where they are present, transforming any shelter into a target within an extermination campaign that aims to efface Gazans, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor (Euro-Med Monitor) has reported.In a statement, Euro-Med Monitor confirmed that the occupation army directly launched firepower at the tents of the displaced people in Al Mawasi, resulting in unnecessary casualties in a daily repeated crime.It stressed that this Israeli firepower is unnecessary for military or security reasons. The displaced tents are coming under precision attack from snipers in this area, as well as air raids and oftentimes artillery shelling. "This area is euphemistically alleged to be a humanitarian zone, and over a million people are ordered to head to this area, the statement continued.The statement further explained that Euro-Med Monitor's legal team has documented repeated incidents of displaced tents being targeted directly throughout the past few days, which resulted in killing dozens of civilians and wounding others with varying degrees of injuries, in addition to destroying their tents and their remaining personal belongings in this last-resort area.The legal team has been monitoring multiple footage showing Israeli forces firing on Palestinians in displacement tents for amusement or competitive targeting. The footage indicates that the firepower was not zeroed in on a specific military target nor justified by any security or operational necessity, but rather exposes a deliberate pattern aimed at maximizing civilian casualties, destroying property, and eroding any sense of safety, the statement stressed. The team asserted that alongside the recorded gunfire, there have been dozens of incidents in which the displaced persons' tents were subjected to aerial and artillery strikes from Israeli gunboats or tanks, targeting civilians within so-called "humanitarian zones," which is literally a deliberate policy aimed at obliterating the very concept of protection, turning places that are supposed to serve as safe havens into hunting and bombardment grounds, where the displaced face the risk of direct killing or slow death from starvation, disease, and the collapse of the health system.Euro-Med Monitor warned against using displacement as a double weapon, stressing that thousands of families in Al Mawasi are experiencing extremely tough humanitarian conditions that lack the simplest life elements, amid a severe shortage of food, fresh water, and medicines, thereby exacerbating health risks and exposing the residents to epidemics and contagious diseases.Many of those displaced people are forced to live either in dilapidated tents or in the open without protection from heat, cold, or rain, amid an aggravated tribulation of children, the elderly, and women due to the lack of essential medical care and services, as these tents continue to punch way above their weight in the midst of no sanitation networks, making them incredibly unlivable and threatening the lives of thousands with slow death, Euro-Med Monitor warned. Euro-Med Monitor further explained that the continuation of this policy lays bare the fact that the Israeli occupation army is bent upon subjecting Gazans to only one of these options: either to die quickly through bombing and direct targeting, or die slowly through deliberate starvation and deprivation of key life essentials.It stressed that these acts are tantamount to a crime of genocide based on international law and expose a methodical orientation to imposing living conditions that aim to decapitate the Palestinians entirely or partially.
