🧵 After their home was bombed, they tried to crawl towards a hospital to save their wounded brother. Israeli soldiers shot them one by one, then shot their mother as she tried to call for help.
A new investigation by Euro-Med Monitor documents the killing of siblings from the Al-Awaini family in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip.

🧵#Israel is exploiting the international community’s focus on the war it and the United States have launched on #Iran to tighten the siege on the #Gaza Strip and continue using starvation to deepen the humanitarian catastrophe and perpetuate genocide ⤵️
On 28 February, Israel closed all crossings with the Gaza Strip, suspended the entry of aid, fuel, and goods, and halted coordination of humanitarian missions in areas where Israeli forces remain deployed or nearby
Additionally, on 3 March, Israeli authorities reopened the Kerem Shalom crossing for limited quantities of fuel and aid shipments arriving via Egypt and Israel, while aid transfers from the West Bank and Jordan remained suspended until 5 March
🧵Blindfolding, handcuffing, beatings, and interrogations… after being forcibly displaced for nearly two years, Israeli forces and affiliated militias are abusing Palestinians returning to the Gaza Strip following the partial reopening of the Rafah crossing.
Euro-Med Monitor met with some of the returnees, who shared the following testimonies ⬇️
🧵#Thread | During their latest meeting, US President Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to develop a “green city” in Rafah, southern #Gaza. The project aims to restrict Palestinians to about half of the Gaza Strip, effectively creating a ghetto where residents would be forcibly displaced from their homes and forced to live in caravans ⤵️
The plan entails grave risks, including the imposition of arrangements that would, in effect, forcibly displace Palestinians from their original places of residence and convert large areas of the Gaza Strip into closed military zones under the direct control of the Israeli army
It represents yet another model of failure in addressing the consequences of the ongoing genocide committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip and advances unrealistic proposals aimed at demographic reengineering and imposing a new reality grounded in control and humiliation
🧵In #Gaza, residents wake up to find a yellow block in their neighbourhood. Once they see it, they grab what they can and flee, knowing their homes will be demolished and that they will never be able to return.
This is how Israel continues to forcibly displace Palestinians in the Strip, even after the ceasefire agreement⤵️
🧵The Israeli army’s extrajudicial killing of two unarmed Palestinians in Jenin in the occupied West Bank, who posed no threat, is part of a continuing pattern of deliberate extrajudicial killings across the occupied Palestinian territory ⤵️
Israeli forces have killed dozens of Palestinians in the West Bank over the past 2 years through extrajudicial killings carried out after the victims were captured or detained. Data from Gaza indicate that ~ 9% of all victims during the genocide were killed in the same manner
On 27 November, an Israeli special forces unit unlawfully raided a house in Jabal Abu Dhahir, Jenin and assaulted a man. During the raid, two men emerged to surrender, unarmed and with their hands raised. Soldiers forced them back inside and shot them at point-blank range
🧵The Israeli Knesset’s approval of a bill to impose the death penalty on Palestinian detainees and prisoners constitutes a dangerous escalation that further entrenches Israel’s apartheid system⤵️
The Knesset’s National Security Committee approved the bill on 3 November ahead of the first reading on 10 November. It now proceeds to second and third readings before becoming law. The bill was introduced by the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party, led by Itamar Ben Gvir
The bill stipulates that “any person who intentionally or recklessly causes the death of an Israeli citizen or a person residing in Israel, when motivated by racism, hatred, or intent to harm Israel or the Israeli people, shall be subject to the death penalty.”
