Amman – Jordan strongly condemned the massacre committed by the Israeli army in the town of Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip, yesterday, Tuesday.
It resulted in the death of 93 Palestinians, more than 40 missing persons, and dozens of injuries. It was considered a systematic targeting and disregard for the lives of Palestinians in the absence of complete international responsibility and accountability.”
This came in a statement by the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on Wednesday, a copy of which Anatolia received.
The ministry said: “We strongly condemn the massacre committed by the Israeli occupation forces by targeting a residential building in Beit Lahia, which resulted in hundreds of martyrs and wounded and dozens missing under the rubble.”
It considered this “a flagrant violation of international law, and an extension of the systematic targeting and disregard for the lives of Palestinians in light of the complete absence of international accountability and responsibility for the war crimes committed against them.”
She stressed that “Israel’s continued violations against the Palestinians and serious violations of international law reflect an international inability to implement the standards of the law, and deepen the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza as a result of the aggression.”
She pointed out that “continued impunity and the absence of effective accountability encourages Israel to continue violations and increases the suffering of the Palestinian people.”
She stressed that “the continuation of this systematic policy comes under the cover of international silence and the failure of the international community to take serious steps to stop the Israeli aggression against Gaza.”
The Ministry called on the international community and the Security Council to “take immediate action to stop Israeli violations, war crimes and genocide against the Palestinian people.”
On Tuesday, the government media office in Gaza announced the killing of 93 Palestinians, in addition to the loss of more than 40 others, as a result of Israeli warplanes bombing a five-story residential building.
On October 5, the army began unprecedented bombing operations on large areas in the northern Gaza Strip, before invading it the next day under the pretext of “preventing the movement of Palestinian factions from regaining their strength,” while the Palestinians say that Israel wants to occupy the region and displace them.
This attack, which coincided with a tight siege, caused the hospitals of the North Governorate to be out of service, and also led to the cessation of civil defense services and ambulances belonging to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
On October 18, the army imposed complete isolation on the North Governorate from the outside world by cutting off its communications network and the Internet, which affected the official authorities’ access to information from their sources there.
The Palestinians confirm that Israel is working to occupy northern Gaza and turn it into a buffer zone and displace citizens, under a strict siege that prevents the entry of food, water and medicine, and intense bombardment that has killed at least a thousand Palestinians.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with absolute American support, has been waging a “genocidal” war on Gaza, resulting in more than 144,000 Palestinian deaths and injuries, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing persons, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and the elderly, in one The worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
