The Israeli occupation forces committed a new barbaric crime this morning in east of Khan Younis, where two Palestinians were killed in cold blood. The Israeli occupation forces opened fire at Palestinians trying to retrieve the bodies of two martyrs and injured four of them.

The Israeli occupation forces used a bulldozer which prevented the youth from taking the martyrs bodies.

A disturbing released video footage shows an Israeli bulldozer brutally and savagely abusing the body a martyr.

In front of this heinous & barbaric crime which violates all norms of international human rights law, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns this repeated crime and calls upon the International community to stand on their responsibilities towards protecting the Palestinian people from the Israeli blatant aggression.
