Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah condemned Tuesday the Rafah massacre, stating that it stripped away the false facade that had been used to present the Israeli occupation as a "civilized" entity.
In his remarks at the conclusion of receiving condolences for his mother's passing, Sayyed Nasrallah said the Rafah massacre "confirms the enemy's brutality, treachery, and betrayal," emphasizing that "we are facing an enemy without values or morals, surpassing the Nazis."
Nasrallah stressed the importance of condemning these horrific massacres, which should serve as a strong motivator for the world to press for an end to the aggression on Gaza. He pointed out that the "horrific Rafah massacre should awaken all the oblivious and silent people in this world."
Regarding the United States, the Hezbollah leader asserted that its hypocrisy concerning Rafah "played a significant role in recent weeks," noting that "Israel" defies the will of the international community and the International Court of Justice, which ordered a halt to the attack on Rafah.
Addressing countries normalizing relations with the Israeli occupation, Sayyed Nasrallah asked, "Will you normalize with these treacherous betrayers whose brutality knows no bounds?"
The Resistance leader stressed that the massacres perpetrated by the Israeli occupation should "serve as a lesson to us and to those relying on the international community and international laws to protect Lebanon."
He further underlined that "those unaware, ignorant, and detached from reality" must listen to the women and children of Rafah, who were screaming into their ears, calling for help.
"Look at the international community, which is impotent and weak, content with issuing statements of concern and condemnation," Sayyed Nasrallah said.
Furthermore, the Hezbollah Secretary-General asserted that the Rafah massacre and the overall reckless actions of the Israeli occupation "will hasten the defeat, collapse, and disappearance of this entity," stressing that "there is no future for this Nazi-like entity in our region."
Rafah massacre
On Sunday evening, the 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 barracks 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 Government Media 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.
In turn, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that there were a large number of martyrs and injured due to the occupation's airstrike on the displaced persons' camp in Rafah, noting that the search for missing persons at the site remains ongoing.
Palestinian media also reported that "a large number of martyrs and injured are still in the camp, while ambulance and civil defense teams are struggling to reach them," adding that "the fires are still burning in the camp due to the bombing."
