The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates repeated its unconditional support for the Palestinians in a statement. It urged the international community which believes in international law, human rights, and international humanitarian law to "fascist Israeli massacres."

The ministry called the newly waged onslaught on Rafah a savage continuation of the Zionist terrorist government's genocide and an expansionism program, citing that the criminals in the Israeli occupation and their planes and tanks have slaughtered over 35,000 Palestinians, including 16,000 children. 

The destruction of the Gaza Strip was provided by the generous contributions of the US and Western weapons, the statement added, stressing that the mass graves uncovered in Gaza remind the world of fascist Nazi practices. 

According to UN experts, many of the 390 bodies discovered exhibited "signs of torture and summary executions and potential instances of people buried alive."

The ministry also decried the complete destruction of the health system in Gaza, citing that Gaza is proof of the mass killing of civilians which entails war crimes and crimes against humanity, in addition to genocide, all of which are condemned by international conventions.

The Israeli occupation forces have committed seven massacres against families in Gaza in the past 24 hours, killing 55 Palestinians and injuring 200 others, the Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed. 

Many victims remain under the rubble and on the streets as the Israeli occupation forces deliberately prevent ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them.

Rafah invasion won't bring back captives, time for ceasefire: Haaretz

The Israeli invasion of Rafah would not contribute to retrieving Israeli captives, but jeopardize its possibility instead, Israeli newspaper Haaretz stated on Wednesday.

Haaretz stressed that the only way for "Israel" to bring back captives would be by signing the agreement with Hamas, regardless of the price and toll it would take on the occupation. 

Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the newspaper, would rather threaten to occupy Rafah instead of considering the demands of the captives' families or agreeing on a ceasefire deal with Hamas that includes a prisoner exchange agreement. 

It was also noted that no one [in "Israel"] was shocked when Netanyahu's office announced the start of the invasion of Rafah to militarily pressure Hamas into releasing the captives and achieve the war's objectives. 

At the same time, it stated how unfortunate it was that Benny Gantz kept repeating the same lie claiming that the military offensive against Rafah was part parcel of the Israeli efforts to retrieve captives and instill security in the South.

Haaretz affirmed that the people paying the price for this policy were the captives, who were killed by Israeli fire and aggression, or those surviving but remained in danger.

The newspaper further mentioned that the occupation claimed it would limit the aggression in Rafah, as announced to the United States and Egypt, but simultaneously warned of the consequences of the invasion, saying it would jeopardize ties with Egypt and Jordan, and obstruct the normalization process with Saudi Arabia.
