War on Gaza: Nearly 100 killed...new massacres in Rafah

The Israeli  army continues its war of extermination on the Gaza Strip for the 129th day in a row, with the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Strip, which has become on the brink of famine and most of its hospitals are out of service amid a severe shortage of medicines and the continuation of the occupation’s war on medical institutions and personnel.


More than 100 Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured, most of them women and children, in a violent Israeli bombardment on homes and mosques in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip. The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) considered the attack a continuation of the genocidal war against the Palestinian people, and called for urgent international action to stop the aggression.


The remains of the killed were scattered in the targeted areas due to the intensity of the bombing, and clouds of thick smoke filled the air of the city, coinciding with an intense flight of reconnaissance planes and helicopters.


According to Al Jazeera, the raids destroyed the Al-Huda Mosque in the Yabna camp, the Al-Rahma Mosque in the Al-Shaboura camp, and 14 residential homes for the families of Al-Mughair, Al-Masry, Abu Jazar, Abu Al-Husayn, Abu Rizq and others in the areas of Yabna, Khirbet Al-Adas, Al-Shaboura, Tal Al-Sultan, Mirage, the Musabah area, and Badr camp.


The Hamas movement said, in a statement, that the Israeli army’s attack on the city of Rafah led to the death of more than 100 citizens, considering this attack “a continuation of the genocidal war and the forced displacement attempts it is waging against our Palestinian people.”


The statement considered that the attack "is a combined crime, a continuation of the genocidal war, and an expansion of the scope of massacres committed against our people, given the tragic conditions this city is experiencing due to the concentration of nearly 1.4 million citizens there."


The movement held the US administration and President Joe Biden "fully responsible with the Israeli government for this massacre, because of the green light they gave to Netanyahu yesterday, and the open support they provide him with money, weapons, and political cover to continue the war of genocide and massacres."


In its statement, Hamas called on the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the UN Security Council to take “urgent and serious action to stop the Zionist aggression and the ongoing crimes of genocide against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip.”
