Hamas: ‘Occupation’s execution of elderly, children is despicable’

Hamas noted: “The occupation army set fire to residential buildings before leaving Tel Al-Hawa and prevented civil defence from accessing buildings that were burned with all of their residents in them and to recover the bodies of entire families who were martyred in Tel Al-Hawa as a result of the Israeli bombing. All of this confirms that the occupation army committed brutal massacres and devastating atrocities.”
The movement stressed: “The shocking scenes of the cold-blooded execution of elderly Palestinians inside their homes, including three elderly women from the Ghalayini family, in addition to the execution of unarmed civilians, including children, are crimes that violate all human values, and confirm the despicable and cowardly behaviour of this fascist army and its criminal leaders who kill children, women and the elderly.”
“These heinous crimes require the United Nations (UN), the international community and its institutions, most notably the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, to take urgent measures to stop the war of genocide waged by the occupation against our people, who are suffering endless violations of all values, customs, laws and international treaties, without the Zionist terrorist government facing any real deterrence,” it added.
Since 7 October, the Israeli occupation army has continued its aggression against the Gaza Strip, killing 38,345 martyrs and injuring 88,295 others. The attacks have also led to the displacement of about 1.9 million people from the Strip, according to UN data.
