1/2 The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has documented a dangerous policy of extortion by Israeli forces against families in the Gaza Strip, presenting them with a catastrophic, no-win choice: either collaborate with the Israeli army and its militias, or face mass killing, starvation and forcible displacement. What began as individual extortion has escalated into a systematic, collective practice aimed at dismantling Palestinian social fabric by forcing people to betray their communities and subordinating survivors to survival conditions that destroy communal identity and resilience. The Monitor documented a massacre carried out by the Israeli army at dawn today against the Bakr family in Al-Shati camp (west of Gaza City), which killed nine family members, including women and children. This occurred one day after the family refused an Israeli demand to remain in place on the condition that its members form and serve in a local militia aligned with the army — similar to the “Abu Shabab” gang established east of Rafah. Our field team reported that Israeli forces have begun forming similar groups in multiple other areas of Gaza, including south Khan Younis, east Shuja’iyya and Beit Lahia in the north. @palestine@fedibird.com @israel@a.gup.pe
