At Least 94% of Martyrs in Gaza are Civilians
By Staff, Agencies
The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor announced on Monday that at least 94 percent of the martyrs resulting of the occupying entity’s fatal attacks are civilians.
The monitor said "Israeli" occupation forces claimed lives of 345 Palestinians and wounded 770 others in just seven days [April 20-26].
According to Euro-Med, more than half of the Palestinians martyred in the one week were children,16 percent of them were women, and 8 percent of them were elderly.
Even most of the adult males martyred in "Israeli" attacks were working in civilian jobs or independent professions unrelated to any military or organizational activity.
The rights group stressed that in parallel to the unprecedented rise in Gaza’s civilian martyrs, "Israeli" prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly denies targeting civilians.
It called Netanyahu’s lies a blatant attempt to mislead international public opinion and cover up the crimes committed on the ground.
The human rights group stressed that this unprecedented rise in the number of civilian martyrs coincides with the continued issuance of false media statements by Netanyahu, who publicly denies targeting civilians.
The monitor also condemned the international silence on the fatal attacks of Palestinians by "Israel", calling it a moral failure and a serious breach of the legal obligations of states and the international community.
