Hamas condemns Israel’s 'criminal' assault in northern Gaza

Hamas has slammed Israel's ongoing military campaign in northern Gaza, particularly targeting the Jabalia refugee camp.

In a statement, Hamas described the operation as a “criminal military campaign”, highlighting the siege and the area’s isolation due to intense fire from Gaza City.

The group condemned the escalation of bombings and massacres against civilians.

“The international community’s silence on the genocide, which has persisted for over a year, gives Israel the licence to escalate its actions and extend them to other countries in the region,” the statement added.
