🧵: The Nuseirat massacre and the excessive killing of civilians without any "operational need" has only one explanation: Israel seizes any opportunity to shed the blood of as many Palestinians as possible, writes Palestinian peace activist Ahmed Abu Artema in his column ⤵️ Image
“In the morning of Saturday, 8 June, the racist Zionist colonial army carried out horrific massacres, killing at least 274 Palestinian civilians,” writes Abu Artema.

Hours later, they announced that these massacres were a cover to free four Israeli captives in the Nuseirat camp
There was no operational necessity for this massacre, writes Abu Artema.

"The occupation army could have freed the captives with far fewer Palestinian casualties, with the basic principle that killing even one civilian is a crime that demands accountability"
