GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement has condemned “the brutal airstrike by the fascist Israeli occupation army that targeted a line of women waiting to receive food supplements for their children in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip.” The attack killed 15 women and children and injured dozens more, marking another horrific crime in the ongoing campaign of systematic extermination in Gaza.
In a statement released Thursday, Hamas accused the Netanyahu government of escalating its deadly massacres against innocent civilians in schools, streets, displacement tents, and civilian centers. The Movement described these actions as systematic ethnic cleansing, carried out openly and without regard for international law or human rights.
Hamas renewed its urgent call to the international community, the United Nations and its agencies, as well as Arab and Islamic nations, demanding immediate intervention to stop the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. It emphasized the need to lift the blockade on Gaza, allow humanitarian aid to reach civilians, and hold the leaders of the Israeli regime accountable for crimes against humanity.
Israeli occupation forces shelled a crowd primarily composed of women and children waiting in line for food supplements in Deir al-Balah on Thursday morning. Local sources confirmed that an Israeli warplane directly bombed the queue near Al-Tayara roundabout amid widespread famine.
The massacre claimed the lives of 15 Palestinians, including eight children and two women, with many others wounded—further deepening the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
