The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor revealed yesterday that the Israeli army committed massacres against Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip shortly after they refused to cooperate with it for security reasons.
The Geneva-based human rights monitor said in a statement that it documented the Israeli occupation army’s perpetration of a massacre at dawn yesterday against a family in the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City, killing nine of its members, including women and children.
It added that this occurred just one day after the family refused to comply with an Israeli request to remain in the area and form a local militia working for the army and carrying out illegal missions.
The human rights monitor explained that Israel is pursuing a dangerous policy of extortion against families in Gaza, presenting them with two disastrous choices: either cooperate with the Israeli army forces, or face mass killing, starvation, and forced displacement.
It explained that this policy is part of an escalating pattern of genocide that has shifted from individual to collective extortion, aiming to dismantle the fabric of Palestinian society, destroy social ties, and subject survivors to conditions of survival that undermine the group’s identity and ability to continue.
