The Russian Foreign Ministry called on Israel to refrain from launching attacks on civilian targets in the Gaza Strip.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Moscow is deeply shocked by the Israeli air strike on the "Al-Tabi'in" school in Gaza.

She stressed that such tragedies undermine international efforts aimed at calming the situation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone and achieving an urgent ceasefire and prisoner exchange.

"We note with regret that such attacks in the Gaza Strip, whose victims are civilians, are of a systematic nature. We call on the Israeli side to refrain from launching attacks on civilian targets. We believe that there is no and cannot be an excuse for them," she said.

This morning, Saturday, the Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre in the "Al-Tabi'in" school, which houses displaced people in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City, resulting in the martyrdom of more than 100 citizens and the injury of hundreds.

The Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the Gaza Strip by land, sea and air since October 7, 2023, which resulted in the death of 39,790 citizens and the injury of 91,702 others, while thousands of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.
