Deadly attacks on Gaza sign of Israel's disregard for mediation efforts: Hamas
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has slammed a fresh Israeli attack on a refugee camp in Gaza which left several Palestinians killed, saying the assault is a sign the regime does not care about mediation efforts aimed at reaching peace in the Palestinian territory.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qasim said on Tuesday that the Israeli attack on the al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, which took place earlier in the day and left at least five Palestinians killed, was a new crime aimed at derailing the peace process in Gaza, according to remarks carried by Lebanon’s al-Manar TV station.
Qasim said the attack, which also injured several Palestinian refugees, was in line with the “continued Israeli genocide” in Gaza and a violation of an internationally recognized ceasefire reached in October last year to allow a stop to more than two years of Israeli aggression on Gaza.
The Hamas official said the Board for Peace in Gaza, which is mostly comprised of senior US officials, should be held to account for Israel’s criminal attack on the Maghazi refugee camp because it has mostly remained silent in the face of Israel’s continued violations of the ceasefire.

He said the attack on the Maghazi camp had come on the Day of Arafah, an Islamic holiday respected by Muslims during the Hajj pilgrimage season, insisting that the coincidence exposed the ‘racist nature’ of the Israeli regime and its disregard for Muslim sentiments and their religious institutions.
Reports earlier on Tuesday said that the Israeli regime had used drones to target the Maghazi refugee camp, where Palestinians had confronted an armed Israeli group operating in the eastern part of the camp.
The civil defense and hospital officials in Gaza later updated the death toll from the attack to seven, saying several more people had been injured.
