In an interview with Al Jazeera Arabic on Saturday, Khalil al-Hayya also called on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to hold an emergency meeting to stop the regime’s massacres of defenseless Palestinians.
Earlier in the day, Israel bombed the al-Tabeen school in the al-Daraj neighborhood east of Gaza City, leaving more than a hundred people dead and many more injured.
Hayya went on to say that this crime is a confirmation of the occupying regime’s approach to continue the genocidal war against Palestinians, stressing that it was committed with the green light of the United States.
He also noted that the Israeli regime is unable to deal with the resistance, arguing that for this reason, it is venting its anger on innocent civilians.
The Hamas official further called on Arab and Islamic countries, as well as the international community, “to fulfill their responsibilities and take urgent action to stop these massacres against Palestinians."
He also stated that the resistance is carrying out its duty to defend its people by all means, emphasizing that the Arab and Islamic countries should hold the occupying regime accountable.
Israel bombed the al-Tabeen school as the citizens were performing the dawn prayer.
Local media reports, citing witness accounts, said there were about 250 people inside the prayer hall at the school when it was struck by Israeli bombs while displaced people were performing the dawn prayer.
Witness accounts suggest many of the dead and injured are civilians, including women, children and the elderly.
The Israeli military confirmed the attack in a statement, claiming that the school “served as a hideout for Hamas commanders.”
Israel has unleashed its brutal war on Gaza on October 7 last year after killing nearly 40,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
Nearly 91,000 others have also been injured in the merciless Israeli aggression as more than 1.7 million people have been internally displaced as well.
The Tel Aviv regime has also imposed a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
