The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, issued a statement, on Wednesday, calling for "urgent and immediate action to halt the massacres and starvation targeting Beit Lahia and Jabalia in northern Gaza."

The statement declared that "the Israeli occupation army continues its criminal military operation in northern Gaza for the 55th consecutive day, perpetrating horrific and brutal terrorist crimes against our people in the north specifically, and Gaza generally."

Furthermore, Hamas stated that the Israeli occupation continues to commit "heinous crimes" in northern Gaza, including killing civilians, detaining dozens, and targeting hospitals and medical staff. Civil defense teams have also been directly attacked, leaving them completely incapacitated.

The group accused the Israeli occupation forces of intensifying their aggression on Jabalia and Beit Lahia through heavy bombardment, "imposing a severe blockade and killing anyone attempting to leave."

Hamas also criticized the US administration, labeling it "the primary partner and supporter of the Israeli enemy," and held it fully responsible for the massacres and acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

The statement urged the international community and free peoples worldwide to "take immediate action to save our people from the genocide and starvation imposed by the fascist Israeli government."

In conclusion, Hamas called on international and humanitarian organizations to "intensify pressure on the Israeli enemy to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza" and "rescue northern Gaza and the entire Strip from this starvation campaign."

"Israel" continues its war of genocide against the Gaza Strip, now ongoing for the 418th day, with the Gaza Health Ministry announcing that in 24 hours, the Israeli military committed three massacres, killing 33 and injuring 134 others, with many victims still trapped under rubble or out of reach due to Israeli bombardment.

Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation has killed 44,282 Palestinians and injured 104,880 others, the ministry confirmed Monday in its daily report.

Earlier on Wednesday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that 35 were martyred in the Gaza Strip since the early morning hours as a result of the Israeli aggression.

Our correspondent confirmed that "Israel" killed three Palestinians following an Israeli airstrike near Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip.
