Hamas: Zionist regime is carrying out ethnic cleansing through systematic destruction of Gaza

The Movement said the US has “paralyzed international security and justice institutions for nearly two years,” making it a de facto accomplice in crimes that “history will never forgive.”

In its press release, Hamas accused the Zionist regime occupation of carrying out genocide and criminal ethnic cleansing through the ongoing systematic destruction of Gaza City neighborhoods.

They stated that Zionist regime forces are using intense aerial bombardment alongside explosive-laden robots detonated in the middle of civilian areas, labeling this as an unprecedented violation of international and humanitarian law.

Hamas added that Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is “waging an open war on innocent civilians, particularly in Gaza City, as part of a scheme to enforce forced displacement and genocide through massacres and destruction.”

They pointed out that today, Israeli forces committed a massacre in Al-Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City, killing over ten members of the Al-‘Af family, most of them women and children. Another atrocity occurred in Al-Mawasi, Khan Yunis, where an Israeli drone killed eleven civilians, including seven children, as they were fetching water.

Hamas affirmed that these crimes represent clear violations of international law and international humanitarian law and urged the UN Security Council to intervene immediately to “stop the brutal genocide and hold those responsible accountable.”

The Movement also called on Arab and Muslim countries and free peoples globally to take decisive action against what they described as “the genocide being carried out by the Zionist occupation in Gaza” and to resist its projects that threaten regional peace and security.
