Al Mezan strongly condemns the ongoing IOF offensive against Palestinian civilians in the OPT, and particularly the Gaza Strip, and stresses that the IOF are systematically committing crimes that are in grave violation of international humanitarian law, notably the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.
Al Mezan calls upon the international community to end its silence, which is encouraging Israel to continue committing further crimes, and to immediately intervene to provide international protection to Palestinian civilians and their property in the OPT.
