Hamas calls for Palestinian Intifada after Israeli atrocity at Rafah refugee center

Hamas strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s latest atrocity in Gaza, urging Palestinians to rise up against the occupation.

Ahlulbayt News Agency: Hamas strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s latest atrocity in Gaza, urging Palestinians to rise up against the occupation.

Israeli strikes on Sunday night targeted a center for the displaced near Rafah, killing at least 40 Palestinians and leaving dozens more injured.

The incident occurred in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood, a refuge for thousands who had evacuated the eastern parts of Rafah following the initiation of an Israeli ground offensive more than two weeks prior.

The attack came merely days after the International Court of Justice directed the Israeli regime to cease its military actions in the area immediately.

A statement from the Gaza government's media office condemned the strikes on the UNRWA's Barkasat displacement center, labelling the event as a deliberate and intense "massacre" by Israeli forces.

"The Israeli occupation committed a horrific massacre by bombarding intensively and intentionally” the center, the office said in a statement, referring to the UN Palestinian refugee agency.

The Hamas resistance movement in statement rapped the atrocity and urged Palestinian masses in the West Bank, al-Quds, elsewhere in the occupied territories and beyond to launch an Intifada (uprising) against the Zionist regime.

It called on Palestinians to organize ‘rallies of rage” against the Tel Aviv regime after this heinous atrocity.

The movement also urged the Arab and Muslim Ummah and other freedom-loving people in the world to intensify their activities against the genocide in the Gaza Strip and pressure their governments to sever ties with the Zionist regime.

The Israeli attack came after the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced it had carried out the first rocket attack on Tel Aviv in months in response to the Israeli massacre of Palestinian civilians.

According to the health ministry in Gaza, the Israeli attacks on the coastal enclave that began on October 7, 2023, have so far killed 35,984 Gazans, mostly women and children, and injured over 80,600 others.
