Israeli occupation forces have
continued their brutal and immoral offensive on the Gaza Strip for the 14th
consecutive day, and have continued the policy of collective punishment in
disregard for the international law and humanitarian law, which ensure
protection for civilians in times of war, and in violation of the principles of
necessity, proportionality and distinction. Israeli
forces have continued their aerial, ground and sea attacks throughout the Gaza
Strip, causing more civilian casualties and damaging civilian facilities,
including houses and mosques. Following the bloodiest day in al-Shuja’iya
neighborhood in the east of Gaza City, on which 65 Palestinians were killed,
Israeli forces destroyed houses without prior warnings while the families were
inside, reminding of scenes of the al-Sammouni and al-Dayah families during
“Operation Cast Lead” (2008-2009). For
instance 23 members of the Abu Jam’e family, including 18 children, were killed
in Kahn Yunis. Israeli forces have
continued the ground operation in the Gaza Strip. They moved hundreds of meters into
Palestinian areas located along the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel,
amidst intensive shelling. Israeli warplanes supported these incursions. Israeli forces ordered Palestinian to leave
these areas. At least 170,000
Palestinian civilians have been forcibly displaced from these areas, and UNRWA
opened dozens of shelters for them at schools.
