Hamas termed the bombing of a school shelter and other attacks in Gaza by Israel as “Zionist war crimes with American cover as part of the war of genocide against our Palestinian people”, Al Jazeera reports.

The violence is a continuation of a year of “heinous operations of deliberately targeting defenceless civilians — in residential neighbourhoods, homes, shelters and displacement centres — with the support of the American administration, a partner in this genocide”.

Hamas called on the international community to intervene, and said inaction “portends the complete collapse of the international system with all its foundations, laws and values”.
