<h3>In a report submitted on Tuesday, Euro-Med Monitor documents dozens
of cases of field executions carried out by Israel during its ground
invasion in Gaza.</h3>
</blockquote>
<p><span>Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor submitted a primary report to UN
special rapporteurs and the Prosecutor of the International Criminal
Court, documenting “dozens of cases of field executions carried out by
the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip”.</span></p>
<p><span>In a <a href="https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6058/Euro-Med-Monitor-sends-UN-rapporteurs,-ICC-Prosecutor-primary-report-documenting-dozens-of-field-execution-cases-in-Gaza">statement</a>
issued on Tuesday, the human rights group “requested an immediate
investigation into these crimes, calling for the perpetrators to be held
accountable, and for justice for all victims.”</span></p>
<p><span>The report was submitted to Maurice Tydball Benz, the UN
Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial or arbitrary executions; Francesca
Albanese, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the
Palestinian territories occupied since 1967; Navanethem Pillay, head of
the Investigative Committee on the Occupied Palestinian Territory; and
Karim Khan, ICC Prosecutor.</span></p>
<p><span>“Nearly 10 days after the Israeli army began its ground attack
in the Gaza Strip on 27 October, the Israeli army carried out dozens of
executions and direct physical liquidations against civilians as part of
its all-out military campaign,” the Geneva-based organization said in
its statement.</span></p>
<p><span>“The Israeli forces’ extrajudicial execution crimes and
liquidations during their ground incursion into the Gaza Strip were
examined by the Euro-Med Monitor in the legal file,” the statement
added.</span></p>
<h4><strong>Mere Examples</strong></h4>
<p><span>The report includes a list of cases that, according to Euro-Med
Monitor, are “merely examples of the numerous killings and field
executions that have occurred in areas where Israeli land incursions are
taking place”</span></p>
<p><span>For example on December 10, Euro-Med Monitor documented the case of 41-year-old Munir Fadl Ali Al-Najjar.</span></p>
<p><span>Below is an excerpt from the rights group’s report: </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span>“10 December 2023: </span></p>
<p><span>“Israeli forces executed Munir Fadl Ali Al-Najjar, 41, after
opening fire at him while he was in his house along with his 74-year-old
mother in the Jabaliya camp.</span></p>
<p><span>“He was shot in the neck and left bleeding to death next to his
mother. Al-Najjar was a civilian who had suffered from a foot injury
since childhood. </span></p>
<p><span>“The Israeli forces did not allow his brother Sami, who works
for a United Nations agency, to move his brother’s body from the room,
and instead subjected him to an interrogation inside the family’s house,
which was turned into a military point to interrogate civilians.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span>Euro-Med Monitor noted that “the Israeli executions violate
international standards and the right to life stipulated in Article 3 of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, plus Article 6 of the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.”</span></p>
<p><span>Moreover, the organization “reiterated that the UN special
rapporteurs and the ICC Prosecutor must launch a swift investigation
into the aforementioned violations, as well as other war crimes that
Israel has committed against civilians in the Gaza Strip, and to hold
those responsible for issuing and carrying out the illegal orders
accountable.”</span></p>
<p><span>According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 20,915 Palestinians
have been killed, and 54,918 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in
Gaza starting on October 7. Palestinian and international estimates say
that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.</span></p>
