Oman has strongly denounced the persistent military assaults by "Israel" on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, particularly the deadly attacks on UN school-turned-shelters in northern Gaza.

In a statement released on Saturday, the Omani Foreign Ministry conveyed the sultanate's condolences to the families of those killed in the attacks and expressed wishes for a swift recovery for the wounded.

Oman commended the resilience of "the brave Palestinians in the face of Israeli injustice, aggression, and the occupation of Palestinian territories, which persist in flagrant violation of international law and United Nations Security Council resolutions."

The statement reiterated Oman's appeal to the international community to take concrete measures to impose deterrent sanctions on "Israel" to halt its aggression and the crimes committed against civilians.

Criticizing Israeli actions, including the ongoing enforcement of a total blockade on the Gaza Strip, depriving people of basic necessities such as fuel, water, food, and medicine, the Omani Foreign Ministry characterized these acts as showing contempt and disregard for human life and dignity.

The statement condemned these actions as a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international principles, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Jordan denounced the Israeli airstrikes on UN school-turned-shelters in the Gaza Strip, expressing strong rejection and condemnation of the assaults as a blatant violation of international law.

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry's spokesperson, Sufian Qudah, emphasized, on Saturday, the need for intensified efforts to halt the continuous Israeli attacks, addressing the "Tel Aviv" regime's repeated violations of international law and international humanitarian law, as well as its assaults on civilians, schools, hospitals, and places of worship.

Similarly, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry characterized the bombing of the al-Fakhoora school as another blatant violation being committed against civilians in Gaza and deemed it another war crime that demanded investigation and holding the perpetrators accountable.

The ministry added that targeting the school, which is managed by the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), constitutes a deliberate insult to the UN, its relief organizations, and humanitarian goals.

'Israel' massacres 200 refugees in UN schools-turned-shelters

Following the restoration of communications after the blackout, reporters confirmed that Israeli occupation forces, under the veil of darkness, had carried out two additional massacres at the al-Fakhoura and Tal al-Zaatar schools, where forcibly displaced Palestinians from Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip were taking refuge.

"Israel" bombed the refugee schools overnight Friday, killing scores of Palestinians while they were sleeping.

As per the Palestinian Minister of Health, Mai al-Kaila, the number of martyrs in the Israeli bombing of al-Fakhoura School has risen to at least 200.

Al-Fakhoura School is the largest school in Jabalia camp, housing thousands of displaced people from Gaza who left their homes due to the violent Israeli airstrikes.

Despite the ongoing Israeli threats for #Palestinians to "evacuate" the northern region of the #Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics confirmed that 807,000 Palestinians continue to reside in the Gaza Governorate, including its northern area.
