The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to take immediate action to stop the Israeli regime's ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip. The call comes after Israeli airstrikes resulted in the tragic deaths of 21 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in two separate neighborhoods in Gaza. Hamas condemned the atrocities as war crimes under international law and highlighted the need for the UNSC to intervene, halt the brutal genocide, and hold the perpetrators accountable. The group also criticized the United States for obstructing international mechanisms to address these brutal violations, adding to the complicity in crimes against humanity. Hamas emphasized that the systematic devastation of neighborhoods in Gaza, carried out through extensive air bombardments and drones laden with explosives targeting residential areas, represents a profound breach of both international and humanitarian laws.
