Without any mention of Israeli indiscriminate bombing, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on Monday and expressed he was "deeply distressed" by "Israel's" siege of Gaza, adding that the UN will not stop providing aid to respond to the needs of those in Gaza.

The occupation's Security Minister Yoav Gallant, according to GLZ Radio, has ordered to cut off electricity, water, and food from Gaza in the aftermath of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which has already left more than 900 settlers dead in one of the deadliest operations on the occupation in decades.

Gallant revealed the occupation's true face by referring to the Palestinians in Gaza as "human animals", who he will have to deal with "accordingly".

The IOF have already bombed Gaza and are currently still bombing it with rockets in a hysterical manner.

Guterres told reporters that the humanitarian situation in Gaza was bad enough before the operation and that now it will "only deteriorate exponentially," pinning the blame on the Resistance and completely disregarding the 16-year-long blockade imposed by "Israel". 

The chief also expressed that the violence is not completely a surprise but rather that it "grows out of a long-standing conflict, with a 56-year long occupation and no political end in sight."

He further gave the green light to the Israeli occupation to pursue its war, but "in strict accordance with international humanitarian law," adding that although the grievances of Palestinians are "legitimate", the killing and abducting of Israelis cannot be justified.

On his part, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged "Israel" on Monday not to "indiscriminately" strike civilians.

"Harming the people of Gaza collectively and indiscriminately would further increase the suffering and the spiral of violence in the region," Erdogan's office warned the office of the Israeli President.

Erdogan also announced that Turkey would "continue to make efforts to end the conflicts."

The Palestinian Health Ministry has reported that 687 citizens were martyred, including 140 children and 105 women, and 3,726 wounded with multiple injuries. including over 244 children and 151 women due to the Israeli brutal aggression on Gaza.

Earlier, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the Israeli occupation forces waged brutal and indiscriminate airstrikes on the Gaza Strip using thermobaric weapons not to mention phosphorus bombs, which are banned under international law.
