After invading troops stormed his home, the young, innocent Muhammad Bhar was brutally mauled by Israeli combat dogs, then intentionally separated from his family – and left to die alone. This tragedy took place during the latest Israeli siege and attack on Gaza City’s Shujaiya neighborhood. For seven days, Muhammad’s family begged the Red Cross to assist in his treatment and release, but they were told the Red Cross was “not cooperating,” according to a report by Middle East Eye published on 12 July. His older brother Jebril was the first to return to the home after Israeli soldiers left the area, only to find Muhammad’s body decomposing. He could not even register his death, or give him a proper burial, due to the extent of damage caused to the area by relentless bombardment. This is no exception. The use of these dogs has not stopped at search operations. Over the course of Israel’s genocidal campaign in the Gaza Strip, the military has let combat dogs loose on civilians, allowing them to be mauled and ruthlessly attacked. Reports by the Euro-Med Monitor field team and other witnesses have revealed that dogs are being used to systematically attack, intimidate, maul – and even sexually assault – Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and in Israeli detention facilities. Muhammad’s story is one of many heart-wrenching, incomprehensible incidents that have failed to reach the eyes and ears of the public.
