We call on the international community, international organizations, and organizations concerned with journalistic and media work in all countries of the world to condemn the crimes of the occupation, deter it, and prosecute it in international courts for its ongoing crimes, and bring the criminals of the occupation to justice.

📄*Press Release No. (984) issued by the Government Media Office:*
⭕*The "Israeli" occupation bombs inside the walls of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital for the 15th consecutive time... The systematic crime against the health system in the Gaza Strip continues*
As part of the ongoing aggression and genocide committed by the "Israeli" occupation army against our people in the Gaza Strip, its military forces committed a new crime by bombing a group of displaced citizens inside the walls of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central Gaza Strip. The civilians had come to the hospital to receive treatment and were exposed to bombing near the new internal medicine department. This criminal bombing resulted in serious injuries and massive material damage, and posed a direct threat to the lives of dozens of patients inside the hospital, in addition to endangering the lives of more than 70 journalists and media professionals, as the bombing occurred a few meters away from them while they were covering the events and developments of genocide, aggression and forced displacement.
This criminal targeting is the fifteenth attack on the same hospital since the beginning of the genocidal war, in a systematic repetition that reflects the occupation's clear insistence on targeting the health system in the Gaza Strip, in a flagrant violation of international laws and norms that prohibit harming medical facilities and the protection of civilians.
*The Government Media Office has monitored the dates on which the occupation bombed inside the walls of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, which are as follows:*
1. Wednesday, January 10, 2024

We condemn in the strongest terms this barbaric and ongoing aggression against hospitals, which represents a blatant violation of all international and humanitarian conventions.
We hold the "Israeli occupation," along with the US administration and complicit countries, fully responsible for these systematic crimes, which are part of a clear policy to destroy the healthcare infrastructure.
We renew our urgent call to the international community, the United Nations, and its humanitarian and human rights organizations to take immediate action to curb the aggression and stop these crimes, which amount to war crimes and genocide, and to provide urgent international protection for hospitals and their workers in the Gaza Strip.

According to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, Israeli forces approached the Bakr family in al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, offering them the chance to remain in their homes in exchange for forming a militia in the area to oppose Hamas. One day after the family refused, Israeli air strikes hit their homes on Sunday, killing at least nine people, including children. More HERE  |
