Hamas denounces school attack and Israel's plan to intensify its attacks on Gaza [1]

[]

Date: 2025-05

Hamas has denounced Israel for “targeting defenceless civilians in places of refuge and shelter” after Israeli military killed at least 22 people and injured 52 people who were sheltering in a school from the Bureij refugee camp on Monday, reported Al Jazeera.

“The Bureij massacre is a heinous war crime that requires the prosecution of the occupation’s leaders in international courts as war criminals,” Hamas said in a statement.

Hamas has also criticised Israel’s plans to expand its onslaught in Gaza and said such actions would jeopardise the lives of those being held captive.

“The approval of the [Israeli] occupation cabinet of plans to expand its ground offensive in Gaza represents an explicit decision to sacrifice the Israeli hostages in the enclave,” Hamas said.

Hamas said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments about expanding the war on Gaza “reflect his insistence on committing more crimes against civilians under a cover provided by the US administration”.

Hamas made a repeated call to the international community, including the UN, “to take urgent and effective steps to stop the massacres” in the Gaza Strip.
