The DPRK's state media blamed the Israeli occupation on Tuesday for the gruesome and inhumane bloodshed in Gaza.
Rodong Sinmun, a ruling Workers' Party member, released an article on the matter, citing foreign media.
"The international community claims that this clash was the result of Israel's constant criminal acts against the Palestinian people and that the fundamental way out is to build an independent Palestinian state," the state media said.
This comes as DPRK state media condemned "hostile forces inside and outside Syria" the most recent drone attack on a military academy that left mass casualties, calling it a terrorist attempt to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.

Mobilization commences on Friday
This update arrived the same day that Hamas called for general mobilization next Friday under: “Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood” in support of Al-Quds, Al-Aqsa, and Gaza.
In an official statement, Hamas called on the youth, across the occupied West Bank and occupied Al-Quds, to take to the streets in large numbers to confront the Israeli occupation forces, affirming the "unity of path and destiny in the quest to free Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa from the grasp of the fascist occupation."
Addressing the Palestinians from the territories occupied in 1948, the movement stated: "This day is your day to mobilize, assemble, and be stationed at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, in solidarity with your fellow people in Gaza and the West Bank."
Iranian leader Seyyed Ali Khamenei announced, on Tuesday, that the events of October 7th (Operation Al-Aqsa Flood) constituted an irrevocable military and intelligence defeat for the Israeli occupation.
“I say that this devastating earthquake has managed to destroy some of the main structures of the usurping regime's governance, which cannot be rebuilt so easily,” he added.
He also assured that it was the Palestinians who conducted this epic operation, which would be a huge leap toward liberating Palestine.
