- Bombing is ‘flagrant violation of international laws and norms,’ says Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa
RIYADH: The Muslim World League condemned on Tuesday the Israeli army’s attack on the Jabalia camp in the besieged Gaza Strip, which killed several people.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, secretary-general of the MWL, said in a statement that the organization “denounced this grave escalation that led to the death of several innocent civilians.”
He also “calls on the international community to uphold its duty to protect civilians from such egregious collective punishment, which stands as a flagrant violation of international laws and norms.”
Al-Issa said there should be “an immediate halt of these acts of mass destruction, which shake every unwavering conscience.”
On Tuesday, a deadly Israeli bombing of Gaza’s largest refugee camp killed dozens of people, including women and children.
Israel’s army reportedly said it had targeted a Hamas tunnel complex under the densely populated Jabalia camp, and claimed it also killed a senior Hamas commander, who it believes was involved in the militant group’s Oct. 7 attacks.
