A Palestinian human rights group Saturday accused the Israeli occupation forces of using excessive force against the Palestinian civilian population. The Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights strongly condemned the Israeli forces' crimes against the civilians in Gaza Strip, the latest of which was the murder of a Palestinian man in his 20s and the injury of five others yesterday. "These crimes are a new evidence of the continuous use of excessive force by the occupation forces against the Palestinian civilian population," it added in a statement. The center called on the international community to immediately act to stop the Israeli crimes.
