Hamas Urges International Inquiry into Alleged “Summary Executions” by Israel in Gaza Strip
Gaza: The Palestinian group Hamas has called for an international investigation into what it claims are “summary executions” carried out by the Israeli army in the war-torn Gaza Strip. Hamas alleges that 137 Palestinian civilians have been summarily executed since Israel’s ground offensive began on October 7, with testimonies and evidence reportedly gathered to support these claims. The group further accuses the Israeli army of executing detained citizens and burying them in a large pit in Gaza City. However, independent verification of these allegations has not been possible, and the Israeli military has not yet responded to the accusations. The military previously stated that its strikes against military targets comply with international law. Earlier this week, the United Nations human rights office also expressed concerns about reports of Israeli troops summarily killing unarmed Palestinians in Gaza and called for an investigation. Israel rejected these allegations, describing them as biased and baseless. According to Hamas, the Israeli army’s offensive has resulted in the deaths of at least 20,258 people, mostly women and children, while Hamas also claims to have abducted 250 individuals, with 129 still being held in Gaza.
