The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said that the Israeli occupation’s intensified targeting of schools that shelter displaced persons is a systematic policy of forced displacement.

He pointed out that the escalation against schools coincides with the issuance of illegal forced evacuation orders from the north of Gaza to its south.

He said, “We documented the direct bombing of 9 schools used as shelters by the occupation’s aircraft over 8 days, destroying them and everyone inside them.”

He added, “These attacks resulted in the martyrdom of 79 Palestinians and the injury of 143 others, most of whom were children and women. Following the occupation’s bombing methodology indicates the existence of a clear policy aimed at depriving the entire Gaza Strip of security.”

The statement said, “Tracing the occupation’s bombing methodology indicates the existence of a policy to deprive civilians of shelter or stability, even if only momentarily.”
