Statement of condemnation by #Entesaf Organization regarding the continuation of crimes and massacres of the Israeli Zionist occupation aggression against civilians in #Lebanon

On Oct 21, 2024

#Entesaf Organization for Women and Children’s Rights condemns in the strongest terms the continuation of the series of crimes of the Israeli Zionist occupation aggression against the Lebanese people, as the Israeli Zionist enemy committed a number of massacres, and the death toll has risen to (2483) dead and (11628) wounded since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on #Lebanon

The organization also denounces this blatant violation of international and humanitarian law and of Lebanon’s sovereignty, and the barbaric and savage escalation aimed at exterminating the Lebanese people and displacing them from their lands. The crimes of the Israeli entity are considered war crimes that require punishment and that reveal the brutal behavior of the occupation and its terrorist army that comes against humanity, and are classified within the context of the daily crimes, attacks and violations committed by the Israeli Zionist occupation against the Lebanese people, especially children and women.

This is what constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law, which criminalizes the targeting of innocent civilians in any way. The purely civilian nature of the crime scene confirms the intention of the Zionist Israeli occupation army to violate the principles and rules of international humanitarian law, including the principle of humanity, the principle of distinction, and the principle of proportionality, which made these crimes amount to war crimes against humanity and an extension of the series of war crimes and genocide committed by the Zionist Israeli occupation for years. #Entesaf Organization also holds the Israeli Zionist occupation forces responsible for all crimes targeting civilians, hospitals, ambulances, and others, and holds the United Nations, the Security Council, and Muslim and Arab countries responsible for their shameful silence and evasion of their duties, which encouraged the Israeli Zionist occupation to continue committing more war crimes against civilians in Lebanese territory.

It renews its call to the international community, especially the International Criminal Court and its Public Prosecutor, to pursue, open an investigation, hold criminally accountable, and punish the leaders of the Israeli Zionist enemy, all those proven to be involved in these crimes.

Entesaf Organization also calls on human rights and humanitarian organizations, all Muslim and Arab countries, and the honorable and free people of the world to assume their moral and humanitarian responsibilities in supporting the Lebanese and Palestinian people, condemning the horrific crimes committed by the Israeli Zionist occupation, and pressuring the United Nations, specifically the Security Council, to carry out their legal and moral duty to protect civilians and stop this aggression.
