Al Mezan Condemns the IOF Killing of Educator Hassan Younis and His Wife; Calls for Immediate Investigation
Al
Mezan Center for Human Rights strongly condemns the killing of father
and step mother of our colleague, Issam Hassan Younis, and the injury of
multiple members of his family and the family of our colleague Yousef
Abu Slaimeh. The attack killed ten people and injured another 49;
including 20 children and 14 women.
During
the past two days, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) escalated its
attacks on the Gaza Strip, especially direct attacks on houses. Al Mezan
notes that many of the IOF attacks used excessively heavy bombs and
missiles that spread destruction of homes and death among civilians in
the targeted areas. This type of attacks represent flagrant violation of
the principle of proportionality, which applies to every single armed
attack. Disproportionate armed attacks are grave breaches of
international humanitarian law (IHL) that amount to war crimes and must
be investigated and prosecuted.
