Israel using booby-trapped robots in northern Gaza, rights group warns

Israeli occupation forces are using booby-trapped robots loaded with explosives in the widespread destruction and killing operations carried out in the northern Gaza Strip, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has revealed.

In a statement issued yesterday, the rights watchdog said Israeli occupation forces have completely separated the northern Gaza Governorate from Gaza City through the deployment of military vehicles, sand barriers and the rubble of destroyed homes, in parallel with ongoing drone strikes.

More than 200,000 people are believed to have stayed in the remains of their destroyed homes and shelters in northern Gaza, rejecting Israeli plans to forcibly displace them.

The Israeli occupation authorities have issued more than six displacement orders in one week, dropping leaflets calling on residents to head to south Gaza.

In total there are more than 400,000 Palestinians in northern Gaza, they have been besieged by the occupation, while food, water and fuel have been banned from entry for ten days.

Hospitals have said patients will die as life support machines shut down as a result of the lack of fuel.
