Geneva, November 17 (RHC)-- A Geneva-based human rights group says it has documented horrific premeditated murders and arbitrary extrajudicial executions of Palestinians at the hands of Israeli forces in northern Gaza.   Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said Saturday that among the many crimes committed by the regime’s forces, it has documented cases of direct killing and extrajudicial executions “without any justification.”

The monitor said it documented the killing of Khaled Mustafa Ismail al-Shafei, 58, and his eldest son Ibrahim, 21 in Beit Lahiya on Wednesday.  They two were shot by Israeli forces in front of their family in their house, it said.

Euro-Med urged the UN and the international community to intervene and stop the “genocide” in the Palestinian territory.  In a report released Thursday, Human Rights Watch said the Tel Aviv regime is carrying out ethnic cleansing against Palestinians.

In northern Gaza, Israel’s military has razed swaths of homes and other civilian infrastructure to make way for “buffer zones” and “security corridors” throughout the besieged enclave, it said.  According to reports from northern Gaza, the regime forces forces have burned schools and attacked hospitals and medical staff. They have killed scores of people and forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes. 

Some 100,000 Palestinians have been expelled from northern Gaza in the last month, according to the United Nations.
