Qatar says it considers the Israeli shelling of the Dar al-Arqam School in Gaza City and the destruction of a warehouse east of Rafah belonging to the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage a “blatant violation of international humanitarian law”, Al Jazeera reports.

The Foreign Ministry in a statement renewed its call for urgent action by the international community to stop “repeated crimes against civilians and civilian facilities, and to compel Israel to comply with international law”.

It condemned relentless Israeli attacks and called on the UN Security Council to assume its responsibility and stop the Gaza bombardment.
