The Israeli occupation army carried out an airstrike near Al-Shifa Hospital this evening, targeting displaced civilians fleeing Gaza City and killing at least 15 people, in what has been described as a blatant war crime.

Eyewitnesses reported that a civilian vehicle carrying family members was hit by Israeli aircraft while attempting to escape southward, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries. The attack underscores the ongoing targeting of civilians in the midst of forced displacement, highlighting the brutal nature of Israel’s nearly two-year genocidal campaign in Gaza.

The incident follows a UN report confirming that Israel’s military actions in Gaza amount to genocide, signalling a defiance of international law and a disregard for global accountability. Calls are growing for urgent action from Arab and Islamic states, as well as the international community, to halt these atrocities and hold Israeli leaders responsible before the International Criminal Court.
