In a horrific report, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor revealed that Israeli soldiers executed dozens of Palestinian elderly in front of their families after telling them it was safe to evacuate.

In a horrific report, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor revealed that Israeli warmongers executed dozens of Palestinian elderly in front of their families after telling them it was safe to evacuate. 

The report also estimated that 1,049 elderly people have been killed by "Israel", making up 3.9% of the total death toll of Palestinians since October 7. The martyrs were killed by Israeli airstrikes as the rubble of their homes or the shelters they sought safety in collapsed over them, or while gathering basic life supplies from the streets or marketplaces around their towns. 

But in a monstrous revelation, and according to testimonies gathered by Euro-Med, dozens of elderly Palestinians were actively targeted by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and killed in field executions. 

“These incidents included soldiers shooting elderly people immediately after ordering them to evacuate their homes, and in some cases, executing them just moments after their release from hours or days of arbitrary detention,” the report said.

“All of these cases are merely examples of the killings and field executions that have occurred in areas where Israeli land incursions are taking place, resulting in the deaths of dozens of elderly people,” the human rights watchdog said, adding that “Israel is waging a campaign of widespread punishment and killing, and oppressing Palestinian society’s most vulnerable groups in a way that is seldom seen in the modern history of wars or armed conflicts. Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza fully unveils its blatant disregard for international humanitarian law and is a serious transgression of the principles of war.”

OHCHR: Israeli soldiers 'summarily killed' Palestinians

On December 20, the OHCHR released a document revealing and condemning the murders of 11 unarmed Palestinian men by the IOF right in front of their families, raising a possible commission of a war crime. 

The report added that the occupation forces ordered women and children into a room "and either shot at them or threw a grenade into the room, reportedly seriously injuring some of them, including an infant and a child."

According to horrifying testimonies gathered by the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor (EMM), the IOF carried out field executions against civilians in Palestinian homes in Gaza.

Earlier reports from Al Mayadeen's sources corroborate that Israeli forces executed more than 15 Palestinians at the Annan family residence near Burj al-Jalaa in the northern part of Gaza City.

Israeli occupation forces left behind several martyrs and wounded several others, all in front of children and women in the residence.
