Euro-Med Monitor: Israel's video on Rafah massacre backfires as scandal
Gaza - SABA
Rami Abdu, head of the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, stated Sunday that the video published by the Israeli military spokesperson—intended to deny Israel's responsibility for the massacre of starving civilians near a U.S. aid distribution point in Rafah—has backfired, turning into a scandal.
In a statement, Abdu revealed that the published footage actually showed an armed gang, backed by Israeli forces, looting seven flour trucks in Khan Younis—not Rafah. He explained:
- Execution Under Surveillance: The gang, operating under Israeli drone observation, opened fire when civilians attempted to recover stolen aid.
- Extortion Exposed: Anyone trying to take a flour bag without paying 100 shekels ($30) was shot or beaten by the occupation-backed gang.
- Complicit Silence: Israeli drones monitored the entire incident without intervention.
Abdu emphasized that the aerial footage—released to evade responsibility for the "Waitkov Massacre"—ultimately exposed Israel's protection of looting gangs.
Earlier Sunday, Israeli forces committed a horrific massacre by attacking thousands of starving civilians gathered near a U.S. aid site in western Rafah, killing 31 and injuring over 200.
