The Turkish Foreign Ministry has condemned Israel for committing a “new crime against humanity” by killing over 100 civilians who sought refuge in a school in Gaza City. The Ministry stated that this attack shows Israel’s intention to disrupt negotiations for a permanent ceasefire. It also called out international actors for not taking action to stop Israel’s crimes.
The Israeli army launched missiles at the Al-Taba’een School, which housed displaced people, during Fajr prayers, resulting in a significant number of casualties. Despite calls from mediators to halt hostilities, Israel continues its offensive on Gaza, with nearly 39,800 people killed since October.
Accused of genocide, Israel faces scrutiny at the International Court of Justice and was ordered to cease its military operation in Rafah. This incident highlights the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with the Palestinian resistance group initiating cross-border attacks.
