Hamas has strongly condemned the Israeli air attack that killed at least 13 Palestinians, including children, and wounded more as they waited in line in Deir el-Balah to get nutritional supplements, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement, Hamas said the attack “represents a new heinous crime committed” by Israel “as part of its ongoing campaign of genocide in the Strip”.

“The terrorist Netanyahu government is escalating its brutal massacres against innocent civilians in schools, streets, displacement camps, and civilian centres, in a systematic behaviour that amounts to a full-fledged ethnic cleansing crime, perpetrated in full view of the world.”
