GENEVA – The
Israeli occupation Force has ramped
up their forced displacement of Palestinians by threatening to consider them
terrorists if they failed to comply. The
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has
called the escalations alarming and has said the targeting of homes could
amount to a crime against humanity.

The Euro-Mediterranean Observatory for Human
Rights in Gaza has documented the dropping of leaflets by Israeli drones
warning Palestinians in northern Gaza that they will be deemed “partners in a
terrorist organization” if they do not comply with orders to evacuate to the
center and south of the Strip.
The new leaflets, which were well-checked by
the
Euro-Med team, stated: “Urgent warning to residents of Gaza. Your presence
north of Wadi Gaza puts your life in danger. Whoever chooses not to leave North
Gaza for the south of Wadi Gaza might be identified as an accomplice in a
terrorist organization.”
Israel insists on carrying out forced
transfers of civilians in Gaza in flagrant violation of international law, and
is giving itself a green light to target civilians who refuse the evacuation
order.
Euro-Med Monitor emphasized that civilians
cannot be considered legitimate targets or deprived of the full protection they
are entitled to under the laws of war if they refuse to leave because they have
nowhere else to go; are elderly, sick, or disabled; or simply do not want to
leave their homes and allow Israel to destroy everything they own.
An Israeli military official declared on
Saturday that the definition of what constitutes a “legitimate target” has now
changed and that private homes “can be considered a legitimate target” under
the pretext of
targeting civilian infrastructure “used” by Palestinian armed
groups.
