Gaza.. 25 martyrs in 3 massacres committed by the occupation in 3 governorates, and Hamas holds Biden and his administration responsible

The government media office in Gaza announced on Tuesday that 25 Palestinians were killed in three massacres committed by the Israeli army by bombing a school, a market, and a mobile phone charging point in three governorates in the Strip, while the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" held the American administration responsible.

The government office said in a statement: "The occupation army committed three massacres today by bombing a school, a market, and a mobile phone charging point in three governorates in the Gaza Strip, killing 25 martyrs and wounding dozens."

He continued in detail: “The bombing of Mustafa Hafez School in Gaza Governorate resulted in 12 martyrs, the bombing of a market in Deir al-Balah city resulted in 9 martyrs, and the bombing of a mobile phone charging point in Khan Yunis Governorate resulted in 4 martyrs,” explaining that the three massacres resulted in “dozens of civilian casualties.”

He promised to commit these massacres "as a continuation of the crime of genocide in which the occupation uses many policies, including the policy of targeting civilians in shelters and displacement centers and targeting civilian gatherings."

Oh God, the difficult moments the displaced people lived through

Earlier today, the director of the government media office in Gaza, Ismail Al-Thawabta, said that the occupation targeted the central market of Deir al-Balah city in the central Gaza Strip, where more than 5,000 Palestinians and displaced persons are present, resulting in the killing of 9 Palestinians.

He explained in a statement to Anadolu Agency: "What happened is a new massacre committed by the Israeli occupation army against our Palestinian people after it bombed the Deir al-Balah market area, where more than 5,000 people live."

He continued: "This massacre confirms that the massacres aim to put political pressure on the Palestinian resistance in order to achieve political goals, and what is happening has nothing to do with bombing any military target."

He added: "The Israeli army knows that those in this area are civilians, most of whom are children and women."

The government office held Israel and the US administration "fully responsible for the catastrophic and dangerous repercussions of these ongoing massacres," calling on the international community and all international and UN organizations to pressure to stop the war of genocide.

Hamas: Israeli government 'bloody and determined to annihilate'

Hamas movement considered, on Tuesday, the latest massacre committed by the Israeli army by bombing a school housing displaced people in Gaza City, which resulted in the killing of 12 Palestinians, as "confirmation of the extremist bloodiness of the Tel Aviv government and its insistence on continuing the war of extermination in the Strip."

The movement said in a statement: "The criminal bombing carried out by the fascist Zionist occupation army this afternoon on a school housing displaced people, which claimed the lives of 12 martyrs in addition to a number of missing persons under the rubble, is a confirmation of the bloodiness of this extremist government and its criminal approach, and its insistence on continuing the war of extermination against our people in the Gaza Strip."

The movement held US President Joe Biden and his administration "fully responsible for the continuation of these massacres against our people," adding: "(These massacres) would not have continued without the full American complicity and the political and military support it provides to the extremist Zionist government."

She called on the international community, the United Nations and its institutions to "work seriously to stop these ongoing crimes and violations against defenceless civilians", calling on "the International Criminal Court to document this massacre and prosecute the leaders of the occupation for these unprecedented crimes in our contemporary history."

Since October 7, Israel, with American support, has been waging a war on Gaza, resulting in more than 133,000 Palestinian deaths and injuries, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing.

Israel continues the war, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to stop it immediately, and the International Court of Justice's orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
