GAZA, (PIC)
The Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza reported that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed four bloody massacres within 24 hours, the latest of which was the bombing of a crowded restaurant, preceded by two schools housing the displaced, resulting in dozens of martyrs and wounded.
In a press statement on Wednesday, the GMO revealed that the IOF deliberately targeted gatherings of civilians and displaced people, as the shelling focused on two schools housing more than 10,000 displaced people, in addition to targeting a restaurant and a popular market crowded with civilians.
The GMO stressed that the Israeli targeting of restaurants, schools, and shelters “reflects a clear intention to inflict the largest possible number of martyrs and victims among the displaced persons who are seeking safety,” noting that the IOF has targeted 235 shelters since the beginning of the war of extermination.
“These crimes constitute a full-fledged war crime and an extension of the genocidal war being carried out by the Israeli occupation against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip,” the GMO added.
It held Israel and its supporters fully responsible for these crimes, calling on the international community to take immediate action to stop these brutal massacres, provide protection for civilians, and hold Israel accountable for its crimes before international courts.
