The spokesman for the Gaza Civil Protection, Mahmud Basal, indicated in a statement that “in less than 12 hours, the Israeli occupation forces committed horrible massacres against civilians in the Strip, with the martyrdom of more than one hundred citizens, including nearly 35 children.” “These documented crimes add to the long list of violations against our people,” he added.
“These massacres are being perpetrated before the eyes of the mediators and the international community, which remains silent and unable to take concrete steps to stop the bloodshed of the Palestinians, which has continued for more than two years,” he said, according to a statement published by the organization on its Telegram account.
In this sense, he stressed that rescue teams “continue to make tremendous efforts to reach citizens trapped in the rubble, while hospitals are overloaded with the injured, including some in critical condition, amid tragic circumstances and a serious shortage of medical supplies and fuel.”
“What is happening in Gaza is a disgrace for humanity that underlines the complicity of the international community in these violations through its silence,” said Basal, who called for the opening of humanitarian corridors to allow the entry of aid and rescue teams to support the civilian population of the Strip.
Twelve hours of bombing
Israel relaunched its attacks on Gaza after accusing Hamas of violating the agreement reached to implement the first phase of US President Donald Trump’s proposal for the Strip, including the death of a soldier on Tuesday and delays in the delivery of the 13 bodies of those kidnapped in the October 7, 2023 attacks who have not yet been returned to Israel.
For his part, the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, conveyed his “heartfelt condolences” to the relatives of the soldier who died on Tuesday, identified as Effie Feldbaum. “Effie, whose memory will be sacred, fought heroically against Hamas murderers and gave her life for the security of Israel,” he said.
The Palestinian Islamist group disassociated itself from the incident in which the aforementioned soldier died and reaffirmed its commitment to the ceasefire. “Hamas claims to have no connection with the shooting in Rafah and reaffirms its commitment to the ceasefire agreement. The criminal bombing carried out by the fascist occupation army in areas of the Strip represents a flagrant violation of the agreement,” he denounced.
Hamas handed over the remains of an Israeli on Monday, although the evidence led to the conclusion that they corresponded to a body recovered in December 2023. In addition, the army published a video in which it stated that militiamen were seen digging a hole to move the remains and present them as recovered during search efforts in Gaza City (north) amid the devastation of the Israeli offensive.
The group stated on several occasions that these delays are due to difficulties in searching for and recovering bodies due to the enormous devastation caused by the Israeli offensive against the enclave, including a shortage of heavy equipment for debris removal in areas bombed by the IDF.
Along these lines, the spokesman for Islamic Jihad, Muhamad al Haj Musa, noted that “the factions of the Palestinian resistance have complied with the clauses of the agreement from the moment the ceasefire was announced, without violating it in any way,” according to the Palestinian newspaper. Palestine.
“It is the occupation that obstructs the recovery of the bodies of its soldiers by preventing the entry of necessary equipment and technical support equipment, in an attempt to deceive public opinion and blame the resistance,” he argued, before asking the mediators to “adopt a firm and serious stance in the face of repeated violations” by Israel.
