The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) has said in a statement that Israel’s claims of targeting senior Palestinian resistance figures “prove its premeditated intention to commit this crime” in Gaza’s al-Mawasi, Al Jazeera reports.

“The horrific massacre committed by the Zionist entity in al-Mawasi near Khan Younis is an insistence on continuing the war of extermination against our people,” the group added.

“This crime confirms that the occupation has disregarded all international norms and covenants,” the PIJ said.
