European Union Foreign and Security Policy Commissioner Josep Borrell said on Friday that the Israeli army, which has a duty to protect civilians, continues to cause “heavy civilian casualties” in the Gaza Strip.

This came in a post by Burrell, through his account on the “X” platform.

Borrell pointed out that the attack on the Maghazi refugee camp in the Gaza Strip was one of the “deadliest bombings.”

He added, "The attack led to the displacement of another 150,000 people."

Borrell called for an urgent “temporary cessation” of clashes.

On Thursday, the Israeli army acknowledged that an air strike it launched on Al-Maghazi camp on December 24 led to the death of dozens of innocent Palestinians.

The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said: “The army refers to the attack launched by the Air Force on Sunday/Monday night, in the Maghazi refugee camp, which led to the killing of dozens of uninvolved civilians, and admits that the attack caused damage to buildings near the target of the attack, which harmed civilians.” .

Since last October 7, the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, which as of Friday left “21,507 martyrs and 55,915 injured, most of them children and women,” massive infrastructure destruction and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, according to the Gaza Strip authorities and the United Nations.
