Israel Accused of Killing 103 Palestinians Daily Since Resuming Gaza Offensive
Euro-Med Monitor reports over 830 killed and 1,787 injured in one week as Israel escalates attacks, targeting civilians, homes, and shelters across Gaza.
Watan-The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor announced that Israel is killing more than 103 Palestinians and injuring 223 others every 24 hours since it resumed its genocidal campaign in the Gaza Strip on March 18.
Since the resumption of the genocide until Wednesday, Israel has killed 830 Palestinians and injured 1,787 others, most of them children and women, according to the Ministry of Health in the besieged Strip.
In a report released late Wednesday, the Geneva-based Monitor stated:“Israel kills more than 103 Palestinians and injures 223 others every 24 hours since it resumed the genocide through direct killings.”

It added that Israel has “never ceased using other tools of genocide, such as siege, starvation, and the imposition of deadly living conditions aimed at destroying the Palestinian people.”
Backed by the United States, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 164,000 Palestinian casualties (killed and injured)—most of them women and children—and more than 14,000 missing persons.
Israel has been besieging Gaza for the 18th consecutive year, and about 1.5 million out of 2.4 million residents are now homeless after the war destroyed their homes. The Strip has entered the early stages of famine due to Tel Aviv’s blockade of humanitarian aid.
The Monitor reported that its field team has “documented the killing of 830 Palestinians and the injury of 1,787 others since dawn on Tuesday, March 18, in hundreds of airstrikes, artillery shelling, gunfire from military vehicles, and drone attacks across the Gaza Strip.”
Monitor: Israel Commits Daily War Crimes Against Trapped Civilians in Gaza
It noted that Israel is targeting not only homes, but what remains of them, as well as tents where civilians sought refuge after over 18 months of genocide.
It emphasized that this targeting now “constitutes a daily war crime carried out by the Israeli army without any military necessity, but as part of a systematic policy of deliberate killing, destruction of civilian life, and the imposition of catastrophic living conditions that make survival impossible.”
The Monitor also expressed “deep concern over preliminary reports of horrific war crimes committed by Israeli forces, including unjustified field executions, during their ongoing invasion of Tel al-Sultan neighborhood west of Rafah City in southern Gaza since March 23.”
It explained that the Monitor had received testimonies indicating that“Israeli forces opened fire on civilians attempting to flee, leaving their bodies in the streets.”
This is happening“while around 50,000 civilians remain trapped in a small geographic area witnessing continuous Israeli military operations, including bombing, demolitions, and raids.”
Rights Group Urges Global Action as Gaza Faces Mass Displacement and Escalating Crimes
The Monitor stated that “More than 200,000 people have been forcibly displaced in one week, and thousands more are preparing to flee, searching for temporary shelter as safety and basic services are completely absent throughout the Strip.”
It stressed that “the international community’s silence has emboldened Israel to continue its crimes, even escalating to target UN facilities and international organizations.”
The Monitor called on all states to “fulfill their legal responsibilities and urgently act to stop the genocide in Gaza in all its forms, and to take concrete measures to protect Palestinian civilians.”
It also affirmed the need to “impose all necessary measures to compel Israel to fully and immediately lift the siege, allow free movement of people and goods without restrictions, and open all crossings without arbitrary conditions.”
