    Israel Accused of Erasing Evidence in Gaza by Removing Rubble

    Human rights organizations have accused Israel of removing large amounts of rubble from the Gaza Strip, including sites of killings and mass graves, to erase evidence of possible war crimes and genocide. Around 10 million tons of rubble have been removed or dismantled, with approximately 400 Israeli vehicles and 100 trucks involved in the operation daily. The transported rubble also contains personal belongings and essential building materials, and its removal without compensation to owners is considered illegal seizure and looting. The international community is urged to intervene and stop the removal of rubble to preserve evidence and facilitate future investigations.

This marks a significant increase from the previous decade, with researchers warning that it could threaten Israel's security and economy if the trend continues.
