Thousands of protesters around the world took to the streets to condemn both "Israel" and the world leaders' silence on the genocide, following the horrendous massacre "Israel" committed as it targeted tents housing displaced Palestinians in Rafah.
On Sunday evening, Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre against dozens of displaced persons by bombing their tents set up in UNRWA warehouses in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, an alleged "safe zone".
The Government Media Office reported that the Israeli occupation committed a horrific massacre through the concentrated and deliberate bombing of a center for the forcibly displaced, established in UNRWA premises in the northwest of Rafah Governorate. The center was bombed with more than seven missiles and large bombs, each weighing more than 2000 pounds of explosives.
According to the Office, this violent bombing led to the martyrdom of dozens and caused numerous injuries, some of which are very serious, indicating a confirmed rise in the number of martyrs from this massacre.
Spain
Hundreds gathered at the European Commission Headquarters in Barcelona, Spain, and outside the foreign affairs ministry in Madrid to demand sanctions against the occupation.
