GAZA, (PIC)
The Hamas Movement called on the international community and the United Nations “to leave the box of condemnation and denunciation by taking practical measures to stop the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and hold the Israeli war criminals accountable.”
“The criminal Zionist occupation army’s continuation of the systematic destruction of residential neighborhoods east of Khan Yunis, the deliberate and direct shooting of civilians, and the indiscriminate intense bombing of various residential areas in the Gaza Strip, is a continuation of the crime of genocide and ethnic cleansing,” the Movement said in a statement issued Wednesday evening.
Meanwhile, the Gaza Government Media Office (GMO) has released updated casualty numbers from the past 48 hours in the southern city after Israel ordered residents to evacuate and began a new offensive.
The GMO said that 129 people have been killed and 416 have been injured over the past 48 hours, more than 100 of whom have not yet reached hospitals.
“The [Israeli] army targets everything that moves on Salah al-Din Street in Khan Yunis,” the Office said in a statement, adding that the Israeli army is obstructing efforts to rescue wounded people who have appealed for help.
