GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Ismail al-Thawabta, director-general of Gaza’s Government Media Office, has held the international community responsible for the continued Israeli attacks and escalating killings, acts of genocide, and targeting of civilians and healthcare facilities, citing its failure to stop the assaults and protect the Palestinian population.
Al-Thawabta made the remarks in a post on X following Israeli attacks across several areas of the Gaza Strip on Thursday that killed 11 Palestinians, including a child, a doctor, and a woman, and injured approximately 40 others.
Among the attacks was an Israeli strike on a building at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, which killed six Palestinians.
Israeli attacks on civilians and hospitals escalate
Al-Thawabta stressed that Israeli forces continue to intensify killings, destruction, and systematic attacks, amid growing assaults on civilians and medical facilities and the killing of doctors and children.
He said the attacks were taking place as Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe continued to worsen, leaving the population facing increasingly dire conditions.
Al-Thawabta accused Israel of continuing to shed Palestinian blood with impunity, taking advantage of the absence of international accountability and the failure of both the international community and the Board of Peace to halt Israeli attacks and provide protection for civilians.
He emphasized that the continuation of these acts places a moral, legal, and historical responsibility on the international community.
He further stressed that Palestinian lives must not become bargaining chips in political calculations and that the deaths of Palestinians must not be reduced to mere statistics.
Israeli ceasefire violations continue
The latest attacks come amid continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that took effect on October 10, 2025.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israeli ceasefire violations had killed 1,622 Palestinians and injured 5,878 others as of Wednesday.
Those figures did not include casualties from Thursday’s attacks.
More than 74,000 Palestinians killed since October 2023
Since October 8, 2023, Israel has continued a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip, with US support, killing more than 74,000 Palestinians and injuring approximately 175,000 others, with women and children accounting for a large share of the casualties.
The war has also caused widespread destruction, affecting an estimated 90% of Gaza’s infrastructure.
Al-Thawabta’s statements underscore growing Palestinian demands for international accountability, an end to Israeli attacks, and effective protection for civilians and medical personnel across the Gaza Strip.
