The Gaza government has accused Israel of committing two brutal massacres in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of 24 Palestinians and injuring 93 others. The Israeli military allegedly bombed the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Mosque and the Ibn Rushd School, both of which were sheltering displaced people in Gaza’s Deir al-Balah Governorate.
The Israeli army claimed that these targets were command centers for the Palestinian Hamas resistance group, but failed to provide substantial evidence. The Gaza government condemned the attacks, highlighting a series of deadly strikes on homes, schools, and displacement centers in the past 48 hours.
Amidst a worsening health crisis in Gaza, with 60 Palestinians killed and many more injured, the international community’s silence is criticized. Hamas also denounced the Israeli war crimes and called for global pressure to end the genocide. Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli regime has killed thousands of Palestinians, targeting civilian infrastructure in violation of international law.
