🚨 One year since the crime, and still no justice.

Israeli forces ambushed & executed 15 rescue workers, then buried them in a mass grave. A deliberate massacre. A war crime.

🧵A thread on what happened⤵️ 📍 23 March 2025 | Rafah, Gaza

A Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance left Rafah’s al-Hashash neighbourhood to evacuate the wounded.

It never made it back.

🧵#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

🧵 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.

Full story ⬇️

🧵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

🧵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

🧵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

🧵In an Israeli cabinet discussion on enforcing the “Yellow Line” in #Gaza, senior officials debated whether to shoot a child or a donkey first.

The rhetoric, though appalling, reflects a broader pattern in Israeli official language that dehumanises Palestinians, fuels violence, and gives the Israeli military a green light to kill, a reality seen in the deaths of around 67,000 Palestinians in Gaza, over 90% of them civilians.

🧵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

🧵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

A thread ⤵️

🧵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

🧵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

Here is more⤵️

🧵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.

🧵Since the start of Israel’s genocide in #Gaza, Israeli leaders have repeatedly called for Palestinians to be starved, expelled, and annihilated.

These are not slips of the tongue, they reveal the intent to commit genocide under international law.

Here are some of the most chilling statements made just in July ⤵️

🧵In just the past two weeks, #Gaza has lost several precious children to malnutrition, victims of Israel’s deliberate starvation policy. Each of these young lives had a name, a story, and a future

⚠️ As Israel announced a series of measures to ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, facts on the ground show it was merely a new attempt to deceive global public opinion by promoting an alleged increase in aid and the opening of new access routes. But the reality is starkly different.

1⃣ Israel allowed only 73 aid trucks into Gaza today, along with three airdrops carrying the equivalent of just two trucks. All were forced to stop in red zones the Israeli army itself had ordered evacuated.

2⃣

🧵 Last night, the Israeli army began airdropping international aid over #Gaza after nearly 5 months of a suffocating blockade.

While they may appear as relief, these airdrops are deeply humiliating and reinforce the very starvation they claim to solve. Here's why 👇 1/7 Instead of relief, these airdrops injured at least 11 people and added to the suffering of a population already starved and displaced by Israel’s siege.

🧵#Syria’s healthcare system is on the brink of collapse, with widespread infrastructure destruction, severe shortages of medicines and supplies, a shrinking health workforce, and the closure of several medical facilities The rapid deterioration stems from years of armed conflict that have exhausted the health sector and deepened its fragility. The absence of effective state institutions to provide basic services and the population’s near-total reliance on humanitarian aid further compounds the crisis

🧵The Israeli army has committed one of its most heinous massacres against starving civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in northern #Gaza. The army ordered the civilians to approach aid trucks with their hands raised and then opened fire on them without provocation When the first groups arrived, Israeli tanks were already stationed in the area. Soldiers then used loudspeakers to command: “Raise your hands and walk in front of the tanks—those who want flour, come forward.” Around 200 civilians complied.

Amid relentless Israeli attacks and a deepening starvation in #Gaza, we turned to our team on the ground and asked: How do you keep going? How do you continue working under such impossible conditions?

These are some of their answers ⬇
