The UN Office of the High Commissioner has recorded at least 57 Palestinians killed by Israel between July 13 and 20, including six children, Al Jazeera reported on Tuesday.
“The Israeli military has intensified its attacks in Gaza in recent days, killing and injuring dozens of Palestinians,” spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan said.
“Nine months after the announcement of a ceasefire, still, nowhere is safe for Palestinians in Gaza,” he added, noting that the killing of civilians raises concerns of war crimes and other possibly atrocity crimes.
Among those killed during this time, “34 were killed far away from the Israeli-imposed ‘yellow line’,” Kheetan said.
He added that the line is constantly being moved, “presenting a continuous threat to life as the Israeli military appears to routinely fire on Palestinians for mere presence in the vicinity of that line, in violation of international human rights law and international humanitarian law.’ –Agencies
