Press TV \u2013 March 3, 2024<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The European-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has confirmed that Israeli tanks deliberately ran over dozens of Palestinians in separate incidents across the besieged Gaza Strip.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Geneva-based organization on Sunday revealed disturbing incidents of Israeli tanks running over Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

It documented the Israeli army killing a Palestinian man who had been deliberately run over in the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City on February 29.<\/p>\n

The man is believed to have been in Israeli custody and his hands were tied with plastic handcuffs when he was run over.<\/p>\n

Images of the body following the incident were shared online by the human rights group.<\/p>\n

They show the victim’s body crushed, to the extent that he is no longer identifiable.<\/p>\n

Another documented incident took place on January 23, when an Israeli tank ran over a family sleeping in a shelter caravan in the Taiba Towers area in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.<\/p>\n

The attack led to the death of a man and his eldest daughter while his remaining three children and wife were injured.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Euro-Med has also confirmed Israeli culpability in a recent massacre in Gaza City where Palestinian aid-seekers were targeted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The Israelis have a history of using armoured vehicles against unarmed civilians. US human rights activist Rachel Corrie was one of the first victims when she was crushed to death by an IDF armoured bulldozer.<\/p><\/div>\n

The organization’s preliminary investigations, disclosed during a press conference at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, also rejected the Israeli army’s attempt to attribute the victims’ deaths to a stampede.<\/p>\n

The Euro-Med\u2019s branch in Gaza said Israeli forces had intentionally opened fire on the crowd of aid recipients to \u201cintimidate\u201d anyone struggling to get a handful of food.<\/p>\n

At the conference, Euro-Med researcher Muhammad Qariqa said that the\u00a0organization\u2019s field team\u00a0had documented Israeli tanks firing heavily towards Palestinian civilians trying to receive humanitarian aid at the \u201cNabulsi\u201d roundabout.<\/p>\n

Qariqi highlighted that the Euro-Med findings demonstrate that dozens of victims suffered gunshot wounds, rather than being run over or crushed, in contrast to what the Israeli army has claimed.<\/p>\n

He further highlighted four pieces of evidence confirming the Israeli army\u2019s involvement in killing and wounding starving civilians.<\/p>\n

The organization also published a\u00a0report stating that evidence shows that dozens of victims suffered gunshot wounds in the attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis indicates that the danger did not originate from the trucks themselves or from the surrounding crowd of people, but rather from an outside source that terrified everyone in the area, both close to and far away from the trucks,\u201d the monitor said.<\/p>\n

The rights organization\u00a0warned that the Israeli shooting of starving Palestinian civilians receiving aid has become a regular practice.<\/p>\n

UN team, medics and rights monitoring groups say evidence points to heavy shooting by Israeli forces in the massacre near Gaza City aid convoy.<\/p>\n

On Friday, a UN team visited some of the wounded in Gaza City\u2019s al-Shifa Hospital, and saw a \u201clarge number of gunshot wounds\u201d, UN chief Antonio Guterres\u2019 spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said.<\/p>\n

Several states and foreign leaders have called for an investigation into the aid truck storming which happened on Thursday and resulted in the deaths of 117 people.<\/p>\n

In Gaza, Muatasem Salah, a member of the Emergency Committee at the Ministry of Health, on Sunday dismissed the Israeli finding about the incident as \u201cincorrect\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have over a thousand martyrs and wounded in this massacre, and most of the martyrs and injuries are caused by heavy-caliber bullets, not light weapons. These heavy-caliber bullets are from the Israeli occupation army,\u201d said Salah.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many serious injuries that have resulted in amputations. Any attempt to claim that people were martyred due to overcrowding or being run over is incorrect. The wounded and martyrs are the result of being shot with heavy-caliber bullets,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The death toll from Israel\u2019s onslaught on Gaza since early October has surpassed 30,400, most of them women and children. More than 71,000 others have also been injured as a result of the brutal war while thousands more remain unaccounted for.<\/p>\n
