UN Secretary-General shocked by Israeli airstrikes on Gaza

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Tuesday he was shocked by the deaths of hundreds of people in the heaviest Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip since a fragile ceasefire came into effect in January, AFP reported.

" The Secretary-General is appalled by the Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip," UN spokesman Rolando Gomez said at a briefing in Geneva. He called for the ceasefire to be respected, for the unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid to be restored, and for the unconditional release of the remaining hostages."

Israel announced on Tuesday that it would continue fighting in Gaza until all hostages were returned, delivering its heaviest strikes since a ceasefire came into effect on January 19. Hundreds of people have been killed.

The Zionist regime's army, on the orders of the regime's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of War Israel Katz, has resumed its aggression against the Gaza Strip, thus publicly declaring the end of the ceasefire. According to Russia Today, the Zionist regime, violating the ceasefire with the green light of the US, has targeted residential homes, schools, refugee centers and their tents in the Gaza Strip with brutal attacks. The attacks, which began on Monday night, have killed 450 people and injured another 500.

Initial reports indicate that most of the dead and injured are children and women. Pre-planned attack In this context, an official in the Zionist regime's army told a Channel 14 reporter that Israel had secretly decided to start a new war late last week, and that the previous night's attacks on Gaza did not happen all at once. The Security Council is a laughing stock After Israel resumed its attack on the Gaza Strip, Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon said that a return to war was necessary, even if the UN Security Council convened a daily session.

Hamas's response In response to the Israeli attack on Gaza, the Palestinian Islamic resistance movement Hamas issued a statement. In this statement, Hamas condemned the attack, held Netanyahu and the Zionist Nazi regime fully responsible for the consequences of this brutal aggression, and called on the UN and the Security Council to convene an urgent meeting to adopt a resolution to stop the Israeli aggression. The genocide continues. In response to this attack, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement issued a statement, stating that Netanyahu's decision to resume attacks against the Palestinian people is a continuation of crimes committed towards genocide. No crisis will be resolved by launching attacks.

The Palestine Liberation Organization also issued a statement: "The new attacks on Gaza by Netanyahu and his vampire government will not only not solve their crises, but will also increase their weakness and failures." The shield of Al-Aqsa Mosque According to another news, in response to the all-out siege of Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Zionists, the Palestinians, with their large presence in this holy place, acted as a strong shield against the Zionist occupiers. The resistance continues. In this regard, senior Hamas official Majed Abu Ghatish called for the continued presence of Palestinians at Al-Aqsa Mosque during the remaining days of the holy month of Ramadan, despite the Zionist occupiers' ban on Itikaf and staying in this holy mosque.
