: The new system of has become a mousetrap where hundreds of people from thousands who expect humanitarian aid have died from shooting of occupation troops, according to the Ministry of Health of the Strip, in the hands of Hamas. It is now known that the army of the Jewish state orders directly to its troops to shoot disarmed Gazati deliberately who do not suppose any threat when they gather in these chaotic cast centers that have ended up becoming a “extermination field”, as the Israeli newspaper has published this Friday Haaretz.
This medium, which has evaluated 19 shootings around the distribution points of the Humanitarian Foundation for Gaza (GHF, that operate at the end of May with the support of Israel and the United States, has collected testimonies between officers and soldiers displaced in the strip. According to these, the shots occur, especially, in the moments before the opening and when they have already closed the facilities, something that the Palestinians themselves do not know, according to an Israeli officer. According to the figures provided by the Hamas government in the strip, in just one month since its launch, 549 people have died and 4,066 have been injured by Israeli attacks when they were going to look for food.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have issued a statement in which they “strongly reject the accusation raised in the article” of Haaretz. And they deny that there are orders to “deliberately shoot against civilians” because it is prohibited by its directives. Therefore, the military statement adds, “in the light of the recent reports of incidents with damages to civilians who approach the distribution centers”, these are being examined by the relevant authorities of the IDF “and, in case of finding” any deviation of the law “, the necessary measures will be taken.” Meanwhile, the Military Prosecutor notes that he is investigating possible war crimes.
The army is aware that the Israel authorities have made the Israeli population remain, thanks to the informative blackout, oblivious to everything that happens around the distribution of help in Gaza. The strip “has become a place with its own rules. The loss of human lives does not mean anything,” says a military man Haaretz.
“Where I was destined, between one and five people they died every day. They are treated as a hostile force: without crowd control measures, without tear gas, only real fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, launched, mortars. Then, once the center is opened, the shots cease and know that they can approach. Our form of communication is the shooting,” says another of the military sources. “We open early fire in the morning if someone tries to row a few hundred meters away, and sometimes we simply load against them at a short distance. But there is no danger to the forces,” he adds. This soldier has no news of “no case for fire response. There is no enemy or weapons.” They even shoot against population that tries to escape.
There is a triple security layer, according to the Israeli newspaper: the environment of the facilities and access controls it by US employees, the armed Palestinian surroundings near a militia contrary to Hamas whose leader collaborates with Israel and, further away, Israeli soldiers with all types of armament. The newspaper speaks of a high -ranking officer whose name appears repeatedly in the testimonies of the shootings to the Palestinians. This is the general of Brigade Yehuda Vach, commander of division 252 and already involved in other scandals within Gaza during this contest.
The testimonies appeared in Haaretz They suppose documented recognition of “war crimes and mass systematic murders against the people of Gaza, which supports months of siege and famine,” according to a statement from the authorities of the Strip, where Hamas governs.
An officer who served in the security team of a distribution center described the approach of the Israeli armed forces as deeply defective: “working with a civilian population when the only way to interact is to open fire is at least very problematic,” he told Haaretz. “It is not ethical or morally acceptable that people have to arrive, or not, to a [zona humanitaria] under tank fire, snipers and mortars. ”
The well -known Humanitarian Foundation for Gaza (GHF) that since the end of May tries to exclusively control the distribution of humanitarian aid in the strip. that have been working with the Palestinians on the ground. “The new help mechanism is an abomination that hurts and kills human beings.” The UN agency chief for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA, according to its acronym in English), Philippe Lazzarini, said this week in Berlin.
