As “Israel’s crime of genocide continues to unfold,” the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said in a statement that Israel’s assault on Khan Younis, which resulted in the deaths of at least 89 Palestinians, the most of them women and children, is one of its bloodiest operations to date.
The monitor reported that “the Israeli army purposefully increases the number of massacres and mass killings of Palestinian civilians” whenever there is talk of a truce being negotiated.
It stated, “This raises concerns that Israel is engaging in political blackmail, as it has done repeatedly in recent weeks, by using the killing and displacement of civilians as a tool of pressure.”
It mentioned that whole families were removed from the civil registration following the most recent attack on Khan Younis.
