Israeli tanks deliberately ran over dozens of Palestinians, report says
Israeli soldiers have been killing Palestinian civilians in Gaza by running them over with tanks and armoured vehicles, a report by the Euro-Med Human Rights monitor states.
According to the report released on Monday, one of those killed was a Palestinian man in Gaza City's Zaytoun neighbourhood on 29 February.
Eyewitnesses told the rights monitor that the man had his hands restrained, was stripped, and that he was alive while he was run over on asphalt.
Other similar incidents have also been carried out by the Israeli army, the rights monitor stated.
On 23 January, an Israeli tank ran over members of the Ghannam family while they were sleeping in a caravan in the Taiba Towers area of Khan Younis.
The attack resulted in the deaths of the father and his eldest daughter, while the remaining three children and wife were wounded.
The incident was confirmed by the 13-year-old daughter, Amina, who said that her father and older sister were killed when the tanks repeatedly drove over the caravan where the family had been sleeping.
As a result of the attack, Amina experienced extreme pressure in her eyes, almost losing her vision.
