Hamas: Israeli escalation in Gaza confirms continued genocidal war, disregard for ceasefire
The Hamas Movement said the Zionist regime’s occupation army’s intensified attacks and crimes across the Gaza Strip since Monday morning represent a systematic escalation by Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, confirming Zionist regime's continued genocidal war against the Palestinian people and its disregard for obligations under the ceasefire agreement.
In a press statement issued Monday, Hamas said Zionist regime’s attacks included the demolition of a number of Palestinian homes in the southern Gaza Strip, gunfire targeting fishermen off the coast of Gaza City, and attacks on civilians across different areas of the Strip, killing at least five Palestinians and injuring several others.
The Movement said the attacks could no longer be considered isolated violations or separate incidents, but had developed into a systematic policy of aggression and a continuing war carried out in different forms.
Hamas renewed its call on the mediators and guarantors of the ceasefire agreement to fulfill their responsibilities regarding Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people and take immediate action to pressure the Zionist regime’s government to halt its attacks and comply with the internationally brokered agreement.
Hamas said the Zionist regime’s occupation army’s daily attacks and massacres amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, calling for international, UN and popular action to isolate Zionist regime, hold its leaders accountable, and take measures to protect the Palestinian people, who, it said, continue to face the threat of genocide and displacement.
