Cairo: Arab Observatory for Human Rights (AOHR) has condemned the evacuation orders issued by the Israeli occupation army in the north of Rafah and south of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

In a statement yesterday, AOHR denounced the systematic eviction of the Palestinians from their homes and workplaces by the Israeli occupation army, in addition to trapping hundreds of thousands of them in a constantly shrinking geographical area, and intentionally targeting them from the air, land, and sea.

AOHR warned of further Israeli escalation to commit crimes of genocide, stressing that the evacuation orders issued Saturday to the civilian inhabitants of Al Hassash, and Musbah in Rafah, and Al Manara, Al Salam, Qeizan Al Najjar, Qeizan Abu Rashwan, and Jourt Al Lout neighborhoods in Khan Younis, are considered a full-fledged crime.

It added that such a crime is against humanity based on the norms of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is perpetrated, either for political, racial, or religious purposes within a large-scale attack and a flagrant violation of human rights, underlining that such an act violates a broad range of legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.

The recurrence of crimes perpetrated by the Israeli occupation army in the Al Mawasi area, dubbed as the humanitarian zone, for the second time in less than a week, is a shocking brutality and a new episode of the relentless Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people and the entire humanity, AOHR confirmed.
