What are refugee camps in Gaza suppose to be?

Refugee camps are temporary settlements designed to provide immediate shelter, protection, and assistance to individuals and families who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or violence. They offer basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and medical care, but are intended as a temporary solution while refugees await a more permanent resolution. To the Israelis, a permanent resolution is expulsion by ethnic cleansing.

On November 26, 2023, the Al Maghazi refugee camp in Central Gaza, became the first camp attacked by Israelis. A Palestinian was killed, and another was injured. On December 7, 2023, the Israelis designated the Al Mawasi refugee camp, west of Rafah in Southern Gaza, as a safe zone. On January 22, 2024, the Israelis used a quadcopter to fire on the tent camp.

The Israelis are systematically claiming that Hamas is among the people without providing any evidence of authentic nature showing that selecting and targeting of more than one person was of legitimate military objective, while meaning "they are all Hamas." We do not consider Israeli and pro-Israeli social media posts as evidence, but official documents verified on the ground by independent parties and confirmed.

Based on this Israeli action, GLOSM/PARES has decided to treat all information found as "war crime as part of 'Killing members of a group' as defined in the Genocide Convention, confirmed by viewing" as long as the Israelis do not allow anyone from outside, and who does have no relation to the parties involved, to verify. 

However, the UN views these attacks as 'crime against humanity of extermination.'

The Dahiya doctrine, or Dahya doctrine, named after Beirut's neighborhood, is an Israeli military large-scale destruction method of civilian infrastructure, or domicide, to pressure hostile governments. The doctrine was outlined by former Israeli Chief of General Staff Gadi Eizenkot.  The Israeli colonel Gabi Siboni wrote that the army "should target economic interests and the centers of civilian power that support the organization". The logic is to cause difficulties for the civilian population so much that they will then turn against the militants, forcing the enemy to surrender. The Dahiya doctrine has been used in the Gaza war from 2008-2009.

In the Gaza war since October 2023, the doctrine has been used with 'starve or surrender' tactic from the retired Israeli general, Giora Eiland during the siege of in Northern Gaza from November 2024, but failed in February 2025. Rafah and Khan Younis were flattened by using the same doctrine.

The use of the doctrine amounts to the crime of extermination.

'Targeting and or killing families in whole or in part' is a term we use based on "...certain acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group" as stated by the UN Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect.

In the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide:

We describe the Palestinians, whether in the West Bank or Gaza, as a national group because the naming of the population is that of their country. The name of the population goes back to the Roman Era. The Palestinians are an ethnic group because they identify with each other based on shared attributes, which may include culture, language, religion, ancestry, or other characteristics that are often passed down through generations. In other words, Palestinians are a people with a historical continuity.

The Israelis are not such people, first, because they only identify with each other based on the ideology of Zionism. Their name is not centuries old, but since May 14, 1948, and comes from the name of a tribe, the Israelites. The Israelis are descendants of migrants from Europe, and over the years, people from around the world. They are all people who have lost their historical continuity, as they left their countries of origin.

Palestinians are Muslims, so a religious group because of their faith. The Israelis are not a religious group but religionizng ideological group of people from around the world. The so-called war by the Israelis is also a “war” against a religion because the Israelis want the whole of Palestine "Jewish."

Extrajudicial summary or arbitrary killing is refusing to take unarmed Palestinians as prisoners or refusing to distinguish between civilians and military objectives, or simply refusing to spare the life of anyone in Gaza, This kind of killing has been found the most. 

For example, when a Palestinian attempts to cross the Netzarim separation line not knowing that the Israelis use invisible marks, the victim unknowingly is crossing then executed.

The most known extrajudicial summary or arbitrary killings in Gaza are the flour massacre on Harun al-Rashid Street, Gaza City where the Israelis shot and killed 115 people, wounds 700 others on February 29, 2024, and the alleged execution of 283 patients, who were found on April 23, 2024, at the compound of the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis. 

The killings of aid seekers at the so-called Israeli controlled aid points, and at Israeli-invented GHF points, are also extrajudicial summary executions. We are studying whether the Israeli use of machine-gun-mounted drones firing on civilians can be considered as extrajudicial summary or arbitrary killings.

The Israelis are systematically claiming that Hamas was among the people without providing any evidence of authentic nature showing that selecting and targeting of more than one person was of legitimate military objective, while meaning "they are all Hamas."
