The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas condemned statements by Israeli occupation Security Minister Israel Katz, who declared that anyone remaining inside Gaza City would be considered either a fighter or a “supporter of terrorism.” Hamas said such remarks reflect “arrogance, contempt for the international community, and a blatant disregard for the principles of international and humanitarian law.”

In a press statement, Hamas stressed that the actions of the Israeli regime’s leaders against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, particularly in Gaza City, amount to crimes of ethnic cleansing and systematic forced displacement “carried out with brutality and in full view of the world.”

The movement pointed to the ongoing military assault on Gaza City, marked by relentless airstrikes on residential homes, massacres such as the killing of the Abu Kamil family in the al-Daraj neighborhood, and the targeting of al-Falah School in al-Zaytoun. It also noted the killing of civil defense workers, an attack on a water truck that left civilians dead, and repeated bombings across the central and southern areas of the Strip.

Hamas urged the international community, as well as Arab and Islamic states, to take immediate action to halt the unprecedented violations, to deter the occupation, and to ensure that its leaders are prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

Genocidal campaign continues

The Israeli occupation continues its genocidal war and starvation campaign against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, killing dozens and injuring hundreds on a daily basis. 

Israeli forces bombed a home west of Deir al-Balah, committing a massacre that left a mother and her six children martyred. 

In a separate incident, six other citizens were martyred and several wounded after the Israeli occupation targeted aid distribution centers in the central Gaza Strip once again.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported on Tuesday that 50 Palestinians, most of them starving civilians in the central Gaza Strip, were martyred since dawn.

Deah toll soars past 66,000

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, 42 martyrs and 190 injuries arrived at hospitals in the past 24 hours. The Ministry’s daily report confirmed that the total number of martyrs since the start of “Israel’s” war of genocide on October 7, 2023, has reached 66,097, with 168,536 others injured.

Since the collapse of the ceasefire on March 18, "Israel" has killed 13,229 Palestinians and injured 56,495 others.

The Ministry also reported that Israeli occupation forces killed five Palestinians and injured 56 others while they waited to receive humanitarian aid at allocated sites. This brings the total death toll arsising from aid massacres to 2,576 martyrs and 18,873 injuries. 

Meanwhile, 453 Palestinians have been starved to death, including 150 children, as a result of the suffocating and fatal Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip, which has blocked the entry of essentials needed to counter the lethal impact of malnutrition that has infested the Palestinian territory.
