Palestinian Civil Society Organizations Coalition: ▪We strongly condemn the massacre that targeted civilian government employees in the Al-Mawasi area south of the Gaza Strip. ▪According to the statement issued by the Government Media Office, four employees were martyred (killed) and more than 30 citizens were injured, including more than six cases described as serious. ▪According to what the Government Media Office reported, the targeting took place while the employees were performing their job duties in inspecting goods, ensuring their suitability, and preventing the smuggling of drugs and illegal materials, in a work area التابعة to the Ministry of Economy, which raises serious concerns about targeting civilian workers while performing their professional and service duties. ▪We affirm that civilian workers are protected under international humanitarian law, and that targeting them while carrying out civilian tasks constitutes a serious violation that requires investigation and accountability. ▪Targeting institutions and civilian teams threatens the continuity of public services and deepens the state of chaos and the humanitarian crisis experienced by the residents of the Gaza Strip. ▪We mourn the victims, namely: Hummam Jabr Abu Labda, Mahmoud Sobhi Abu Naama, Muhammad Hamad Al-Sultan, and Wissam Ezzat Adwan. ▪We demand an independent and transparent investigation into the circumstances of the targeting and accountability for those responsible for these violations. ▪We call on the mediators, the states sponsoring the agreement, and the international community to take urgent and effective measures to ensure the protection of civilians and workers in public institutions and prevent the recurrence of these incidents. ▪We stress the need to take a clear position that ensures the protection of civilian employees and the continued performance of government institutions in their service functions in a way that safeguards citizens' rights and preserves their dignity. ▪The protection of civilians is not a political choice but a legal obligation under the rules of international humanitarian law.
