Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas condemned the Zionist occupation for committing a horrific massacre overnight Monday in al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, where occupation warplanes targeted the tents of displaced Palestinians with heavy bombs.
In a statement, Hamas emphasized that “this brutal attack on an area declared as a safe zone by the occupation confirms the ongoing genocide carried out by the Nazi-like Zionist government against the Palestinian people.
The movement further called on the international community, the United Nations, and political, humanitarian, and judicial institutions to “assume their responsibility in stopping this massacre,” urging them to take necessary measures to “bring Zionist war criminals to the International Criminal Court and hold them accountable.”
Mujahideen Movement: US accountable for al-Mawasi massacre
The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement condemned the crime in Khan Younis, which claimed the lives of more than 40 martyrs and wounded more than 65, in an unfinished toll, considering it a new crime in the war of extermination committed by the “fascist government of the entity using Western-American weapons” against the Palestinian people.
It held the US administration and its president, Joe Biden, fully responsible for the “heinous crime” in Khan Younis “and all the crimes of the enemy against our people,” considering it a key partner in the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people as it continues to provide international cover and military support to the “Nazi Netanyahu government.”
The movement further stressed that the occupation’s justifications for the crime are “false and absurd as it continues to kill and terrorize as part of a series aimed at breaking the will of our people and displacing them from their land.”

The Occupation’s Massacre Against Displaced People in West Khan Younis is a Result of U.S. Support and Arab Complicity.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) confirmed that the large-scale brutal massacre committed by the occupation against a significant number of displaced people’s tents in Khan Younis at dawn today, Tuesday, which resulted in dozens of martyrs and injuries, and caused severe difficulties in recovery efforts due to the deep craters left by the bombing, is a new war crime within the ongoing campaign of genocide being waged by the occupation against our people, a campaign that knows no limits to its brutality and criminality.
The Front affirmed that this crime is a direct result of continued U.S. support and Arab complicity, which always provides the occupation with the green light to continue these horrific massacres against the displaced and shelter camps.
The PFLP stressed that war criminals Joe Biden and his vice president Kamala Harris continue to lead the war against our people, providing arms and support, while U.S. fleets take part in the aggression against the region and its people. This is evidenced by the presence of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff inside the operations rooms of the criminal occupation army yesterday.
The Front added that the occupation’s claims of targeting a command and control center for the resistance and the presence of leaders inside the tents is a false and fabricated claim aimed at justifying the brutal massacre it committed.
The PFLP called for an escalation of resistance operations and retaliation by all forces and fighters in Palestine, in response to these horrific massacres and the ongoing war of genocide. It also urged the Arab nation’s people to follow the path of martyr Maher Al-Jazi by carrying out deterrence operations against the occupation and colonists, and to escalate armed revolutionary violence using all forms of resistance as the means of confronting this occupier, its interests, and its settlers in Arab countries and around the world.
The Front affirmed that the forces of resistance face an important responsibility to protect our people, deter the crimes of the occupation, and prevent its terrorism from expanding to encompass the entire region.

We strongly condemn the massacre at Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, which claimed the lives of more than 40 civilians and injured more than 60 others, in an attack targeting the tents of peaceful civilians while they slept in the middle of the night, in an area that the new Nazi government claims to be “safe humanitarian zones.”
The Al-Mawasi Khan Younis massacre once again confirms the fascism of the occupation, its criminality, and its insistence on committing further acts of genocide to terrorize our people, starve them, and destroy their homes and properties, thinking that this will force our people into migration, thus enabling it to achieve one of its strategic goals in shaping the future of the Gaza Strip at the expense of our national project.
This crime and other acts of genocide would not have occurred without the endless partnership and support of the United States for Netanyahu’s fascist government, along with the silence and complicity of certain Arab and Western capitals in these crimes, which amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The delay of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Mr. Karim Khan, in issuing arrest warrants against Netanyahu, his Minister of War Galant, and their fascist entourage, and the impunity enjoyed by the pillars of the “israeli” occupation government, encourages this fascist government to continue its genocide crimes against the Palestinian people, with no regard for international law or human rights.
