Hamas said in a written statement that the tragedy in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood had reached inhumane dimensions. The brutality of the loss of life as a result of the occupational army setting fire to houses and leaving families inside, and the failure of civil defense teams to intervene, was emphasized. It was stated that the massacre in Tel al-Hawa once again revealed Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people.
The Responsibility of the International Community
The statement stressed that international organizations such as the United Nations, the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court must take action against the crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinian people. It was stated that the international community bears responsibility for ending the inhumane practices of the Israeli army.
Statement by the Gaza Civil Protection Unit
According to a statement made earlier by the spokesman for the Gaza Civil Defense, Mahmoud Basal, the scenes left behind as the occupying Israeli army retreated from the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood were horrific. The corpses and burnt houses found in and around Tel al-Hawa bore the marks of Israel’s devastating attacks.
Data from El-Ehli Baptist Hospital
According to information received from the El-Ehli Baptist Hospital, it was stated that the bodies of 56 Palestinians were found in the Tel el-Heva Neighborhood. Civil defense teams are trying to draw the attention of the international community by revealing the extent of the tragedy that took place in Tel el-Heva.
