The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas issued a press statement following the Israeli occupation army’s execution of a new massacre against civilians in the Gaza Strip by targeting a school housing displaced persons in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of dozens.

The statement read: “The criminal attack carried out by the aircraft of the fascist occupation army on the Hamama School, which shelters thousands of displaced people in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City, which led to the death of fifteen defenseless displaced civilians in a preliminary toll, and the injury of dozens of them, is an insistence by the terrorist occupation government to continue its brutal war of extermination, and to challenge all systems of values and international laws, by deliberately targeting civilians, including children, women and the elderly.”

It continued: "The fascist occupation army continues its blatant lies, through which it claims to use civilian sites, including schools, hospitals, displacement and shelter centers, for military purposes, and uses these lies as a pretext to target defenseless civilians."

The statement added: "We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), warn against the continuation of this criminal policy through which the occupation seeks to kill, terrorize, and subjugate our people and force them to emigrate from their land, under the pressure of massacres, destruction, and starvation. We call on the international community to take urgent action to expose its lies and hold it accountable for its horrific violations and crimes against humanity."
