The Palestinian group has released a statement condemning Israel’s killing of more than 100 people in Gaza City in attacks on a school-turned-shelter for the displaced.
“The massacre perpetrated in the Gaza Strip by the hands of the Neo-Nazis in the center of Gaza City constitutes a horrific crime and represents a grave escalation in the unprecedented series of crimes and massacres in the history of wars”, the statement reads.
In response to Israel’s claims that the school was being used as a Hamas command centre, the group said that these justifications are false and “excuses to target civilians, schools, hospitals, and refugee tents, all of which are false pretexts and exposed lies to justify its crimes”.
“We call on our Arab and Islamic countries and the international community to fulfill their responsibilities and take urgent action to stop these massacres and halt the escalating Zionist aggression against our people and defenseless citizens”, the statement ends.
