“Fire was opened on affected citizens at a close distance,” a press release published yesterday said, “individuals in official uniform or masked persons opened fire on people’s legs, severely beat others, imposed house arrests, and threatened to punish citizens along with their family members if they would not comply.”
These transgressions have been perpetrated at a time when the Palestinian people are attempting to recover from the effects of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
The reported violations have also taken place at a time when collective efforts are being made to monitor and document Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity, as well as to prosecute Israeli political leaders and military commanders before justice.
