Hamas spokesman Hazem Qasem said the killing of three children in Gaza within less than 24 hours by Israeli airstrikes and tank fire constitutes a compound crime, Shehab Wire reported. Qasem characterized the deaths as evidence of ongoing genocide against Palestinians in the strip and a deliberate targeting of civilians including children and women.
The spokesman's statement came as Palestinian factions continue to document civilian casualties across Gaza. Qasem said the pattern of strikes on residential areas demonstrates what he described as systematic violence against the Palestinian population, with children and women among those killed in the recent bombardments across the territory.
