Palestinians detail field executions by Israeli forces in north Gaza

Israeli forces have carried out field executions of Palestinians in northern Gaza, according to eyewitnesses who spoke to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor in a new report.

The Geneva-based NGO says it has documented dozens of deliberate killings by Israeli soldiers since Israel began its new offensive in the area in early October.

The executions are part of "numerous atrocities" committed in the besieged area, including "killing and terrorising civilians, forcibly evicting them from their homes, and displacing them outside northern Gaza province", the monitor said on Sunday. 

The organisation's field teams documented "harrowing incidents of direct killings and extrajudicial executions", that were "carried out with no justification whatsoever."
