Hamas condemned an Israeli air strike on a school in Gaza City, which was sheltering displaced civilians and killed 22 people, including 13 children. The attack also left 30 people wounded in the Zeitoun neighbourhood.
Hamas, in a statement, called these acts “unprecedented crimes in modern history” and labelled them as a blatant violation of human values and international law.
The group further accused the US of providing military and political cover, allowing the continued "brutal genocide in Gaza."
The statement emphasised that the international community now faces a moral, humanitarian, and legal test to stop the Israeli occupation’s aggression, hold its leaders accountable, and address its crimes.
