Israeli Military Vehicles Intentionally Crushed Dozens Of Palestinians: Euro-med

The latest incident occurred on 29 February, when Israeli troops ran over a Palestinian shortly after being released from detention

Throughout Israel's prolonged bombardment of the Gaza Strip, Israeli troops have run over Palestinian civilians with tanks and other armored military vehicles on several occasions, killing dozens in the process, according to a Euro-Med report published on 4 March.

Euro-Med Monitor reported that the Israeli military fatally struck a Palestinian man in Gaza City's Al-Zaytoun area on 29 February, following his detention. After undergoing severe questioning, the man was restrained with plastic zip-tie handcuffs. He was subsequently run over by a military vehicle, which was deliberately driven over him from his feet to his head.

According to eyewitness accounts provided to the Euro-Med team, the incident took place on Salah al-Din Street in the Zaytoun district. Witnesses reported that Israeli soldiers handcuffed the victim's hands and then proceeded to run him over, indicating he was alive before being crushed by the weight of the vehicle.

The rights organization has also reported that the Israeli military has been involved in other incidents of a similar nature.

On 23 January, an Israeli tank trampled over members of the Palestinian Ghannam family as they slept in a caravan at the Taiba Towers area of Khan Younis. The father and the eldest daughter of the family were killed during the attack, according to Amina, the youngest sister.

Euro-Med also reported instances of Israeli tanks and bulldozers driving over and flattening tents housing displaced individuals within the courtyard of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia on 16 December 2023.

Anas al-Sharif, Al Jazeera's Arabic correspondent in Gaza, described the attack as “a terrifying massacre with unspeakable scenes. What the Israeli occupation did inside Kamal Adwan Hospital is a horrific crime against citizens and medical staff."

Several of these run-over executions come after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Israel is “plausible” for committing genocide on 26 January, urging Tel Aviv to prevent further casualties and to completely restrain from committing acts that constitute genocide.
