Hamas calls for UN action after two Israeli ‘massacres’ that killed mostly children
The Palestinian group has called for immediate intervention by the UN Security Council following two Israeli “massacres”, in which 21 people were killed, many of them children.
Hamas said in a statement that 11 people were killed, including seven children, in an Israeli drone attack on the al-Mawasi area, near the southern city of Khan Younis, that hit people queueing for water.
In a separate attack in the Daraj neighbourhood of eastern Gaza City, the Israeli military had struck the home of the al-Af family, killing 10 people, “most of them women and children”, Hamas said.
“These crimes expose the criminal fascist nature of the enemy,” said the statement, adding that Washington was a “partner in a crime against humanity that history will never forgive”.
“The actions of the fascist occupation entity constitute war crimes under international law and international humanitarian law,” said the statement. “They require immediate intervention by the UN Security Council to impose an end to this brutal genocide and hold those responsible accountable.”
Intense Israeli attacks trap Palestinians in Gaza City ‘cage’
Palestinians are in a cage in Gaza City right now, trying to survive as many air strikes as possible. They are also dying from the food and aid blockade as they are not able to get the basic means of sustenance.
The ground invasion is intensifying and expanding and Palestinians have limited places to escape to. Wherever they go, the air strikes follow them. In the past couple of hours, at least 10 people were killed in the eastern part of Gaza City in the Daraj area.
