Al Mezan Center for Human Rights strongly condemns the IOF assassination crimes on June 13th, which resulted in killing and injuring 53 Palestinians.
AL Mezan confirms that the assassination crime which is the latest in a string of extrajudicial actions Al Mezan Center for Human Rights strongly condemns such a crime which is the latest in a string of IOF extrajudicial actions that constitute a clear example of premeditated murder against Palestinian civilians including children.
Al Mezan is highly concerned with the ongoing IOF offensive; it condemns the silence of the international community over such crimes and the support to IOF claims that mislead international opinion.
The IOF has denied responsibility for killing seven family members on Beit Lahia beach, claims which are totally rejected and unjustifiable according to Al Mezan investigations based on the victims' testimonies, eyewitnesses and experts in ammunition and medics.
Al Mezan reiterates that the international community, mostly the High Contracting Parties to Geneva Convention which are requested to respect the convention under any circumstances, must immediately intervene to put an end to Israeli war crimes and provide protection to Palestinian civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) in the face of increasing war crimes.
Al Mezan believes that the intervention of the international community constitutes a legal and ethical obligation at a time where the IOF are intensifying both the siege on the Gaza Strip and their offensive, taking advantage of the silence of the international community which is leading to a deterioration of the human rights situation and is exposing the entire Palestinian society to a human disaster.
