The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor stated yesterday that an Israeli military bulldozer deliberately ran over a wounded child, severing his body in two while he was still alive, after he had been shot and prevented from receiving medical attention in the Gaza Strip. This act constitutes a crime of genocide perpetrated against the residents of the Gaza Strip.
The Euro-Mediterranean Monitor explained that its field team documented the shooting of 16-year-old Zaher Nasser Shamia, from the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, by Israeli occupation forces in the camp on Wednesday afternoon, December 10, 2025. He was left bleeding from his injuries, unable to be reached due to the ongoing gunfire in the area. Minutes later, an Israeli military bulldozer approached the scene and deliberately ran over him while he was still alive and lying on the ground, severing his body in two and leaving him in pieces.
In his statement to the Euro-Mediterranean team, the child’s uncle explained that his nephew, Shamia, was near the Jabalia Services Club, which is about fifty meters away from the yellow line, when the occupation army’s vehicles arrived at around nine o’clock in the morning in the vicinity of the yellow cubes amidst heavy gunfire. He added: Shamia stayed in the Jabalia camp, then one of his friends came to him and told him that the army had withdrawn from the yellow line, so Shamia headed with a group of his friends towards the area of the yellow cubes, and he was walking in Al-Hadd Street until he reached the middle of the street, where the occupation forces fired at him – most likely from a quadcopter drone – and he was hit by a bullet in the vicinity of the head, according to eyewitnesses, while he was seen still moving his head after being hit before his friends fled and he was left lying on the ground.
