Palestinian NGOs organized Sunday, September 10, a protest in Gaza to condemn the Israeli crimes against Palestinian women, especially the women assaulted and sexually abused in Hebron by Israeli forces.
Dozens of Palestinian women reportedly protested before the UN headquarter in Gaza, holding the Palestine flag and chanting slogans against the Israeli attacks on women.
“We followed what press reports revealed about a group of Israeli soldiers violating the dignity of five Palestinian women from Hebron, assaulting them and ripping off their clothes in front of their children at gunpoint and police dogs during the storming of their family home in July,” said the head of the Women Sector, Mariam Zaqqout.

This attack coincided with the ongoing escalation of Israeli attacks against the Palestinian people at all levels, which violates international law and human rights norms amid blatant silence from the international community, indicated Zaqqout.
She stressed that what happened is a crime morally and legally, that requires holding its perpetrators, who committed this act without respect to human rights laws and morals.
Zaqqout called on the international community and the international organizations to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for their crimes, stressing that such a crime is a part of a systematic, aggressive Israeli policy against the Palestinian people.
