GAZA, (PIC)
The Hamas Movement has accused the US administration of being an accomplice in the massacre that was committed on Saturday morning by the Israeli occupation army in al-Mawasi area in Khan Yunis, describing the massacre as “part of the ongoing Nazi genocide in Gaza” and a “dangerous escalation.”
“This heinous massacre that was committed by the Zionist occupation army targeted al-Mawasi area in the west of Khan Yunis City, an area already designated by the Israeli army as a safe zone,” Hamas said.
“Israeli aircraft, artillery and drones intensively and successively targeted the tents of displaced people with different ammunitions, killing and wounding hundreds of innocent and defenseless civilians,” Hamas added.
Hamas called Israeli claims about targeting some of its leaders in the area as “lies”, saying it was not the first time the Israeli occupation made such false allegations to cover up its horrific massacres.
Hamas stressed that the Mawasi massacre reflected Israeli persistence in targeting defenseless civilians in tents, displacement centers and neighborhoods and committing the most heinous crimes against them, with no regard for international calls demanding it to stop targeting civilians.
“Such a disregard for international law and conventions and large-scale violations against defenseless civilians would not have persisted had it not been for the support provided by the US administration for the extremist Zionist government and its terrorist army,” the Movement underlined.
