GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center)The Hamas Movement affirmed that Israeli occupation forces continue to commit massacres in the Gaza Strip through an intensified and brutal campaign of fire belts, airstrikes, and artillery shelling targeting residential neighborhoods, shelters, displaced persons’ tents, hospitals, and refugee centers.
Since early Thursday morning, more than 120 civilians have been killed, including entire families wiped out from the civil registry, in horrific scenes of mass killing that reflect the brutality and fascism of the occupying entity.
In a press statement, Hamas stressed that war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu’s insistence on continuing the genocide, using siege and starvation as tools to break the will of the Palestinian people, constitutes “a clear war crime and a stain on the conscience of a world that has failed to restrain this arrogant enemy.”
“The killing of children and women and the starvation of civilians have become official policy practiced by the occupation government in blatant defiance of the United Nations and the principles of international and humanitarian law.”
“Symbolic statements and verbal condemnations are no longer sufficient. What is needed is decisive international action—imposing sanctions, prosecuting occupation leaders as war criminals, and halting all forms of support to this criminal entity.”
Hamas called on the Arab and Islamic peoples, as well as free people around the world, to turn the upcoming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday into days of popular anger and widespread mobilization—to expose the crimes of genocide and starvation and to pressure for an end to this criminal war against the defenseless Palestinian people.
