The United Nations Human Rights Office has confirmed today that the UN had received reports that the Israeli occupation forces killed at least 11 unarmed Palestinians a few days ago, in what could be classified as a “war crime” in the Gaza Strip.
Agence France-Presse quoted the UN office as saying in a statement today: “It received information indicating that Israeli forces arbitrarily killed at least 11 unarmed Palestinian men,” explaining that “the killings were carried out in the Al-Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City this week, after the arrest of those people”.
The office expressed “its concern,” considering that “the incident raises the alarm about committing a war crime, as the men were killed in front of their family members, after Israeli soldiers ordered the women and children to enter a room and threw a hand grenade inside it, which led to some of them being seriously injured ”a baby and a child.”
The Human Rights Office previously confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces deliberately targeted civilians in the Gaza Strip and committed many massacres during their ongoing aggression against the Strip.
