The Hamas Movement has described what is happening in northern Gaza and Jabalia as a “full-fledged genocide,” expressing its belief that the Israeli “Generals’ Plan” in northern Gaza would be doomed to failure.

“The escalating crimes and massacres in northern Gaza are happening in the midst of news and reports asserting that the occupation government has launched a new phase of genocide called the ‘Generals’ Plan’ to isolate the north of the Gaza Strip and displace its residents,” Hamas said in a statement on Tuesday evening.

“The terrorist occupation army is committing massacres against civilians [in northern Gaza], bombing homes over the heads of their residents, and striking civilian infrastructure, including streets, neighborhoods, bakeries, hospitals and water wells,” Hamas affirmed.

“Dozens of bodies are still being buried under the rubble and lying on the ground across the streets of Jabalia, while rescue crews are unable to retrieve them or reach the wounded and those trapped in targeted places. The residents are also facing a tragic humanitarian situation amid tight siege and prevention of all means of life from entering the north,” Hamas added.

“The leaked details of this [Israeli] plan, which was revealed by the US Associated Press, is based on tightening the siege on the northern Gaza Strip, cutting off humanitarian aid to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians living there, preventing them from obtaining food and drink, and considering those who remain there as combatants, which means the possibility of targeting and killing them after the area has been declared a closed military zone,” the Movement said.
