It has been more than 60 days since US President Donald Trump announced his 20-point plan for Gaza in New York, 50 days since the Sharm El-Sheikh summit’s Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity and two weeks since the passing of UN Security Council Resolution 2803 formally adopting the plan, making it part of international law and binding on all nations.
The UN has called for an investigation into the recent “horrific” killing by Israeli forces of two young brothers in Gaza who were reportedly targeted by a drone while collecting firewood.
This comes as humanitarians continue to receive reports that air strikes, shelling, gunfire and other continuing Israeli military operations in the enclave are causing more civilian casualties, displacement and destruction.
In recent days, hundreds of families were reportedly displaced in two neighbourhoods in eastern Gaza City following strikes and movement of military equipment, UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told journalists in New York on Wednesday.
He was asked about the killing of the boys, which occurred on Saturday.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) acknowledged the strike in a post on social media, saying troops had identified two terrorists crossing the ‘yellow line’ in northern Gaza, thus posing an immediate threat to them.
The incident was “horrific, to say the least,” Mr. Dujarric said.
“It‘s hard to see how two boys, eight and 10, can be considered a threat. And there needs to be an investigation and accountability into what happened.”
According to WAFA correspondent, armed colonists from the illegal colonial outpost of Karmei Tzur, built on Palestinian land, attacked a group of farmers with stones, clubs, and pepper spray as they attempted to reach their farmland in the Wardan area between Beit Ummar and Halhul.
The agency said the strike hit near the Kuwaiti Field Hospital in Khan Yunis and „targeted“ a shelter camp.
The hospital also reported that five people, including two children aged eight and 10, were killed and another 32 were wounded.
Trump, a Republican, has largely stood by his defense secretary, among the most important Cabinet-level positions. But the decisions by Wicker, alongside House Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers of Alabama and the top Democrats on the committees, to open investigations provide a rare moment of Congress asserting itself and its authority to conduct oversight of the Trump administration.
