The Israeli occupation military has committed a massacre at the Civil Defense Center in al-Nuseirat in central Gaza, the spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, told Al Mayadeen on Sunday evening.

According to Basal, the occupation forces targeted the Civil Defense Center with a missile fired by a drone, killing four Civil Defense personnel.

The spokesperson underscored that the Civil Defense is facing a disaster due to the Israeli targeting of its centers and teams since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza.

He stressed that the targeting of Civil Defense teams constitutes a "full-fledged war crime", calling on the world to condemn these Israeli crimes.

Basal pointed out that the continuous Israeli targeting of Civil Defense teams is undermining rescue operations for the wounded across the Gaza Strip.

He indicated that "Israel's" escalation of its killing crimes is a result of international silence and the inaction of organizations responsible for protecting medical teams.

Elsewhere, Basal told Al Mayadeen that "94 members of the Civil Defense teams in Gaza have been martyred by Israeli killing machines."

Gaza Civil Defense targeted

Earlier on Sunday, Gaza's Civil Defense condemned in a statement the "heinous crime" committed by the Israeli occupation against "our crews in the central governorate, while they were performing their humanitarian and national duty."

"This Israeli occupation directly bombed our crews in the Nuseirat Center without any humanitarian or legal considerations, killing them while they were performing their prayers after a rescue mission," the statement read, detailing that four were killed on the spot, including two volunteers and directors of two centers, and the injury of five others, three of whom are in critical condition.

The emergency body mourned martyrs Lieutenant Colonel Nidal Alian Abu Hajir, the director of the Nuseirat/Bureij Center, Major Alaa al-Abd al-Naizi, the director of the Sheikh Radwan Civil Defense Center, retired volunteer Khaled Muhammad al-Muqadma, and volunteer Ahmed Bakr al-Louh.

The Civil Defense decried this being the second targeting of the al-Nuseirat Civil Defense Center, as the occupation bombed the same center at the end of last June, which led to the martyrdom of three firefighting and rescue officers.
