civilians in Gaza with military vehicles, resulting in multiple fatalities. اضافة اعلان
Euro-Med documented the IOF’s killing of a Palestinian man who was deliberately run over in Gaza City’s Al-Zaytoun neighborhood on February 29 after he was arrested. The man was subjected to harsh interrogation by members of the IOF, who bound his hands with plastic zip-tie handcuffs before running him over with a military vehicle from the bottom to the top of his body.
According to witnesses, the incident occurred on the main Salah al-Din Street in the Zaytoun neighborhood. Israeli occupation soldiers restrained the victim’s hands before they crushed him, and tramped on his body from the legs up, confirming that he was alive during the incident. To guarantee thorough and complete crushing, the victim was placed on asphalt rather than in an adjacent sandy area.
The human rights group added that the victim’s mutilated body and the surrounding area bear obvious signs that a military bulldozer or tank was present, noting that it appears that the victim was purposefully stripped of his clothes, as he was seen wearing only his underpants at the time of his death.
The ramming operation occurred before the IOF withdrew to the outskirts of the Zaytoun neighborhood two days ago, as evidenced by the condition of the entrails and other body parts, which had not yet decomposed when the case was documented.
Another documented incident took place on January 23, when an Israeli tank ran over members of the Ghannam family while they were sleeping in a shelter caravan in the Taiba Towers area of Khan Younis. As a result, a man and his eldest daughter were killed, and his remaining three children and wife were injured.

His 13-year-old daughter Amina, confirmed that her father and older sister were killed when an Israeli tank unexpectedly and repeatedly ran over the caravan, where the family had been sleeping. While her mother and two other siblings survived the attack, Amina experienced extreme pressure in her eyes, nearly losing her sight.
Euro-Med Monitor also documented Israeli tanks and bulldozers running over and crushing displaced people inside their tents in Beit Lahia’s Kamal Adwan Hospital courtyard on December 16, 2023. The group noted that several people were killed during the incident, including individuals who were initially injured and did not ultimately survive, adding that corpses of those who had been previously buried in the courtyard were also crushed in the December 16, 2023 incident.
Recently, a Palestinian family survived a February 20 running attack after Israeli trucks ran over their tent on the shore of the Khan Younis Sea. A woman said that she was shocked by the tank suddenly running over her tent.
The human rights group emphasized that crushing civilians with tanks is just one of the many cruel ways the IOF murders Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, disregarding their humanity, suffering, and dignity.
In addition, Euro-Med Monitor has documented numerous incidents of IOF tanks destroying civilian property, particularly cars, during Israel’s ground incursions into different parts of the Gaza Strip, pointing out that most of these tank attacks have targeted vehicles parked in the streets without any military affiliation, indicating the IOF’s deliberate and systematic destruction of Palestinian property.
Euro-Med Monitor affirms dehumanizing tactics by Israel and calls for international action on Israeli violations in Gaza
Euro-Med Monitor affirmed that all of these violations are part of a larger Israeli effort to dehumanize every Palestinian in the strip, in order to justify and normalize the crimes being committed against them.
Furthermore, it emphasized that these practices reflect the desire of Israel’s government and military to collectively punish the Palestinian people, with the aim of eliminating, intimidating, and harming them physically and psychologically.
The group warned that the IOF has escalated its premeditated murders, extrajudicial executions, and judicial killings against Palestinian civilians since October 7 through direct targeting with snipers, drones, and running operations in various regions of Gaza.
According to the group, these actions amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity under the Rome Statute Basic Law of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Regarding the fact that the ICC has not yet taken any action or filed any charges in relation to the investigations it is supposed to be carrying out into the situation in the strip, Euro-Med Monitor expressed deep concern about the ICC Prosecutor’s performance regarding the war taking place there.
According to the group, the ICC’s last update on the situation in Palestine was posted on November 17, 2023 on its official website, highlighting that this raises serious questions and concerns about its independence and integrity, as well as the extent to which it can perform its duties without becoming politicized or impacted by standards of duality and selective justice.
Notably, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor called for the formation of an independent international investigation committee specializing in Israel’s ongoing military attack on the Gaza Strip.
It also urged the international community to enable the work of a separate independent international investigation committee concerned with the Occupied Palestinian Territory, formed in 2021, to carry out its work by ensuring its access to the strip and opening the necessary investigations into all crimes and violations committed against Palestinians there, including the deliberate killing and extrajudicial execution of civilians.
The rights group also demanded that the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary, or arbitrary executions visit the Gaza Strip as soon as feasible to look into the illegal killings that fall under the purview of his substantive mandate.
