Israeli tanks ‘deliberately’ ran over Palestinians alive, says Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor

ANKARA (AA) – Israeli tanks “deliberately” ran over Palestinians alive on Sunday, according to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.

The Geneva-based organization described these crimes as “part of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”

Euro-Med reported several cases of Israeli forces running over Palestinian civilians alive, including a man on February 29, a family on January 23, displaced people in December 2023, and another family on February 20.

“Euro-Med Monitor affirmed that all of these violations are part of a larger Israeli effort to dehumanize every Palestinian in the Gaza Strip, in order to justify and normalize the crimes being committed against them,” the statement added.

The group reiterated “its call for the international community to immediately implement its international obligations to stop the genocide that Israel has been committing against all Palestinians in the Gaza Strip for roughly five months now.”

Israel has killed 30,410 people and injured 71,700 others in the ongoing war on Gaza.

The Israeli war has pushed 85% of Gaza’s population into internal displacement amid acute shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, while 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza. However, Israel has continued its policies.
