Hamas: Zionist Massacre in Al-Zaytoun Is a Gross Violation of Ceasefire
Movement holds Trump and mediators responsible for Israeli breaches as 11 members of the Shaaban family, including children and women, are killed in Gaza.
Palestine, PUREWILAYAH.COM – The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has denounced the Israeli massacre committed against the Shaaban family in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood of eastern Gaza, declaring it a flagrant breach of the ceasefire agreement and proof of the occupation’s persistent aggression.
In a statement, Hamas affirmed that this crime reflects the ongoing Israeli violations of the recently reached ceasefire, as the occupation continues its assaults and war crimes against the Palestinian people.
“This horrific crime adds to the long record of massacres and violations, confirming that the blood of our children and women remains a direct target of the Zionist killing machine, which savagely tramples all human values and international laws.”
Call on Trump and Mediators to Enforce Ceasefire Obligations
Hamas called upon President Donald Trump and international mediators to take immediate action regarding Israel’s violations and to fulfill their responsibilities in compelling the occupation to respect the ceasefire and end its targeting of Palestinian civilians.
The movement stressed that silence in the face of such atrocities amounts to complicity, urging accountability for those responsible for endangering civilian lives in Gaza.
Hamas appealed to the international community and human rights organizations to assume their moral and legal responsibility, pressuring Israel to halt its genocidal practices and to prosecute those responsible for war crimes against humanity.
On Saturday evening, Israeli forces fired a tank shell directly at a vehicle carrying members of the Shaaban family as they attempted to inspect their home in Al-Zaytoun.
Eleven civilians were martyred, including seven children and three women – a new tragedy etched into the history of Gaza’s suffering. (PW)
