The international community is watching, entire families become victims of the massacres of the Israeli occupation in Gaza

Occupied Jerusalem (ST): The terror of the Israeli occupation in the besieged Gaza Strip continues  as hundreds of rockets and missiles targeted the Strip during the past hours, and resulted in the death of entire families because of the  destruction of their  homes while they were in their homes

While the international community is content to stand by and keep silent, the occupation is using all kinds of weapons, including internationally prohibited ones. 

The death toll of the Israeli aggression on its fifth consecutive day rose to 119 martyrs, including 31 children and 19 women, in addition to the injury of more than 830 victims.

Mohammad al-Za’anin from the city of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip talked about part of the occupation’s crimes, saying that the occupation forces bombed the city with missiles and artillery and all the northern areas of the Strip and everything around turned into a block of flame with the sounds of huge explosions that destroyed many homes and spread fear and panic among children and women. 

He added that a large number of martyrs and wounded were killed as a result of the bombing. Hundreds of families who were deprived of celebrating Eid Al-Fitr sought refuge in Beit Hanoun Hospital to escape the Israeli missiles and mortar shells that pursue them everywhere, spreading killing and destruction.

For his part, Mohammad Al-Madhoun from Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, a friend of Al-Tanani family, whose members were all martyred in the bombing of the occupation. He said that after a day of searching under the rubble, the bodies of six martyrs, the father, his wife and their four children 4, 5, 6 and 7 years old, were found and their remains were removed from under the rubble of the house that was leveled on the ground. 

Mohammad Al-Attar, in turn, said that rockets rained down on us from all sides and the house collapsed to the west of Beit Lahiya . A thick flame escalated from the place and mixed with the house dust. I was close to the house. I hit one of the walls from the intensity of the bombing and got bruised in my body.

Paramedic Yusri Al-Masry explained that Israel’s aggression on the northern Gaza Strip has continued, as its forces bombarded dozens of homes in the village of Umm Al-Nasr, and the remains of children, women and the elderly were scattered there, and four martyrs’ bodies were taken from under the rubble of the houses that were bombed.

Human rights researcher Hussein Hammad confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces are committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip by targeting and bombing residential homes and destroying them on the heads of their inhabitants in a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and international conventions, especially the Fourth Geneva Convention on the Protection of Civilians, pointing out that  the occupation’s perpetration of more massacres against the Palestinians is a disregard for the International Criminal Court, which should expedite an investigation into these crimes and massacres and hold those responsible to account.
