🧵The Israeli army’s escalation in targeting displaced people in Al-Mawasi, southwest of the #Gaza Strip, is turning the Israeli-claimed “humanitarian zone” into a death trap
The Israeli army is targeting the tents with sniper fire, random shooting from drones and nearby military vehicles, as well as airstrikes and artillery shelling, while at the same time claiming the area is a humanitarian zone and ordering over one million residents of Gaza City to evacuate there
Euro-Med Monitor’s field team has documented repeated attacks on displacement tents in the area in recent days, killing several civilians, injuring many others, and destroying their tents along with the few personal belongings they still had
🧵At every dawn in #Gaza City, families wake to deafening, earth-shaking blasts, relentless explosions unlike any weapon heard before. Israel’s army is using explosive-laden robots, a new weapon designed to wipe out entire neighbourhoods in an instant
🧵The Israeli army’s killing of five Palestinian farmers while working on their land in Khan Younis, southern #Gaza, reflects a recurring pattern and an ongoing systematic policy aimed at destroying any attempt to secure the minimum food supply through local production
The five victims, all from the same family, were identified as: Suleiman and Mohammed Jamal Darwish al-Astal, Mousa Abdullah al-Astal, Mahmoud Naif Mustafa al-Astal, and Mohammed Marwan Ahmad al-Astal
Israel’s escalating attacks on food sources in Gaza come just as the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) formally declared famine in Gaza Governorate for the first time ever
🧵Over the past 22 months, Israel has killed around one Palestinian athlete per day and destroyed nearly every sports facility in #Gaza. Yet @FIFAcom and @UEFA, have refused to suspend Israel or take action, a response they had no hesitation applying to other countries
🧵Israel has destroyed nearly all animal wealth in the #Gaza Strip, approximately 97 per cent, through bombing and systematic starvation, including working animals that served as the last means of transport amid fuel shortages and limited public mobility
Through the deliberate imposition of unsustainable living conditions leading to physical destruction, Israeli policies reflect a systematic and ongoing pattern of genocide. This is carried out through the destruction of food sources, livestock, and agricultural production, alongside widespread killings, an illegal blockade on the Gaza Strip, and the deliberate restriction of food supplies for nearly two years.
Before Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip in October 2023, the enclave had around 6,500 poultry farms that supplied about three million chickens to the local market each month. Now, 666 days later, over 93 per cent of these farms have been completely destroyed, and the few remaining have ceased operations entirely.
