The head of the Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza, Salama Marouf, said that the Israeli occupation army seeks to make the Gaza Strip an area unfit for living.

Marouf added in a statement on Friday, “the footage of Jabalia camp after the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation army show the ugliness of the Israeli atrocities and crimes committed in Jabalia camp and the Beit Lahia project, and the size of the destruction and sabotage they caused to homes and public service facilities.”

The footage exposes the Israeli fascism, racism, and terrorism in a blatant violation of the most basic principles of humanity, moral values and international humanitarian laws, conventions and rulings especially those issued by the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, he elaborated.

Marouf added that “for the second time over 20 days, the Israeli occupation army wreaked sabotage and destruction in Jabalia camp, killing and wounding hundreds of people, forcibly displacing about 200 thousand citizens, destroying full residential blocks and squares, and burning and bombing public and service facilities.”

He pointed out that ambulance and civil defense crews have recovered dozens of martyrs following the army’s withdrawal, and have been continuing search operations for dozens of missing people under the rubble.

He strongly condemned the unjustified international failure to halt the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, holding Israel and its supporters, led by the US, Germany and the UK, fully responsible for the genocide in Gaza.

Marouf called on the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to pursue speedy procedures to ensure the cessation of the Israeli aggression and the accountability of its leaders as war criminals and perpetrators of crimes against humanity.

He concluded his statement by calling on countries and peoples to intensify their activism in various fields to pressure Israel and its partners to stop the war of genocide and ensure the flow of humanitarian and medical aid into the Strip.
