The Government Media Office in Gaza says that the Israeli occupation detained around 300 people from Al-Shifa Hospital and its vicinity while 100 individuals remain missing.
Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas condemned the brutal Israeli crimes in the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and its surroundings, which have gone beyond the bounds of civilization and humanity, and held the administration of President Joe Biden responsible for the “horrific crime” as it continues to back and support the occupation.
After 14 days of seige and occupation of the medical facility, Israeli occupation forces withdrew from the Al-Shifa late Sunday, leaving behind hundreds of bodies both inside the hospital and in its vicinity, in addition to mass destruction, leaving the hospital completely out of service.
The Resistance group highlighted some vital points “in light of this morning’s revelations following the withdrawal of the terrorist occupation army from the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and its surroundings,” in addition to “the immense destruction that has befallen the area, caused by the killing and terror machine of this barbaric and lawless army .. and the horrifying executions discovered, as well as the bodies of martyrs found tied-up and buried alive .. or those crushed by tanks, in addition to other atrocities.”
Hamas emphasized that “this horrific crime confirms the nature of this rogue fascist entity, which has deviated from the values of civilization and humanity, and whose crimes and violations have exceeded all limits,” as it continues to “carry out the genocidal war against civilians in Gaza” and destroy the Strip’s civil infrastructure, with “unconditional support from the administration of US President Biden,” while the world watches in silence.
On that note, it held the US administration and Biden “personally responsible for the full responsibility for the crimes, massacres, and systematic destruction of civilian life in the Gaza Strip, including the health sector and hospitals, which are carried out with American weapons and all forms of military and political support.”
The statement also pointed out that “the extent of destruction and killing in which the enemy excels does not mean that it achieves any victory over the will of our people, who are holding on to their land and identity,” and that “this barbaric attack on the Gaza Strip once again confirms the enemy’s goal of forcing our people to leave their land as part of its plans to end the Palestinian cause.”
Hamas demanded “that the international community and the United Nations condemn this heinous crime committed by the criminal Zionist enemy against the Al-Shifa Complex and its surroundings and the citizens therein” and called on them to “immediately enter Gaza City and record the extent of the crime that has been committed.”
Furthermore, the Palestinian Resistance movement called “on international judicial bodies, especially the International Criminal Court, to begin actual proceedings to investigate the crimes and atrocities that have occurred at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and its surroundings,” in addition to all crimes Israelis have committed since last October.
“We urge them to look into the dozens of complaints and requests for an investigation into Zionist crimes against our defenseless people and to carry out their mission to hold the leaders of this entity accountable and bring them to justice.”
Concluding the statement, Hamas affirmed that “these Nazi crimes” will not undermine or weaken the “resolve of our steadfast people and brave Resistance,” which is confronting the brutal aggression with courage and spirit of sacrifice.
It also called on “the free people of the world and the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation to rise and intensify pressure on this barbaric enemy and its supporters and to provide all forms of support to our Palestinian people and their Resistance” until the Israeli war objectives are defeated and the aspirations of our people for freedom, independence, and the recovery of their land and holy places are achieved.
