The Government's media office affirmed that the IOF deliberately misleads civilians, most of whom are children and women, to inflict the maximum possible human losses and casualties in a dual war crime. The first aspect is forcibly displacing civilians from their homes, and the second is intentionally targeting and shelling them directly afterward.
The Office called on the Palestinian people to exercise caution and vigilance against the occupation, which seeks to cause the greatest number of casualties among them. It urged them to be aware of the conspiracies and misleading campaigns targeting them.
It further appealed to all free nations and international organizations to pressure the occupation to halt the genocide against civilians, children, and women in the Gaza Strip.
The Office also held the US, the international community, and the occupation fully responsible for the genocidal crimes that violate international law and humanitarian rights.
