In a horrific report, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/euromed-says--israel--has-no-redlines-with-people-captured-i>
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
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/ohchr-has-reports-israeli-soldiers--summarily-killed--palest>
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
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iof-intentionally-killed-journalists-and-their-families-in-g>
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.
