The Government Media Office in Gaza stated that "Israel" committed a horrendous massacre during the early hours of Saturday at the Al-Tabieen school in Gaza City, killing over 100 Palestinians and wounding dozens of others.

"Due to the enormity of the massacre and the rising number of victims, medical and civil defense teams have not yet been able to retrieve all the bodies," it said in a statement.

The media office held both "Israel" and the US administration responsible, pointing out that the Israeli occupation army launched a direct attack on the school, where many displaced individuals who had sought refuge were performing morning prayers, which led to a massive number of martyrs.

More than 300 people were present at the time of the Israeli bombing, the media office added.

It condemned this "horrific massacre in the strongest terms and [called] on the entire world to condemn it." The government office also demanded that the international community and international organizations put pressure on the occupation to stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

US facilitating Israeli crimes

The massacre came just hours after CNN reported citing sources that the White House decided to release $3.5 billion in funding for "Israel" to purchase US-made weapons and military equipment, and a Zeteo report revealing that the United States is set to send 6,500 Joint Direct Action Munitions (JDAMs) to "Israel".

Such munitions (JDAMs) have been used in a series of massacres in Gaza, including in the recent bombing of the al-Mawasai tent city sheltering forcibly displaced Palestinians, killing over 90 people and wounding around 300.

Earlier this week, footage was leaked of Israeli occupation forces (IOF) sexually abusing a Palestinian prisoner from Gaza at the notorious Israeli concentration camp Sde Teiman.

Additionally, the United States decided on Friday not to impose sanctions on the infamous Israeli Netzah Yehuda battalion, which is accused of crimes in the occupied West Bank even by Washington.

The human rights violations included sexual assault and beating a number of elderly Palestinians to death after detaining them. Among the victims was a 78-year-old Palestinian-American man.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken informed Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant that the US investigation was concluded, and found that the battalion has been “effectively remediated.”
