Israeli strikes on schools ‘continuation of Nazi-like genocide’, Hamas says

Israel’s targeting of schools used as shelters in Gaza are a continuation of the occupation state’s “Nazi-like genocide”, Hamas said in a statement.

“The occupation’s goals behind these massacres, of terrorism, intimidation, and displacement, will be shattered by the steadfastness of this brave people and their resistance,” the Palestinian movement asserted.

“The brutal massacres by the occupying army against our Palestinian people continue. They are targeting the Nasr and Hassan Salameh schools in western Gaza, which are full of displaced people. The action is a continuation of the Nazi-like genocide it is waging against unarmed civilians, violating all international laws and norms.”

Hamas called on the international community, and Arab and Islamic countries to assume their responsibilities and take action to stop the criminal and terrorist behaviour of the occupation government.

The statement added, “Netanyahu and his henchmen’s delusions of subjugation and submission will turn into destruction and ruin for his fragile, troubled entity and his failed, defeated army.”

At least 30 Palestinians were killed in the strikes on the schools which were being used as shelters for the displaced.
