Israel continually targets schools and hospitals, where tens of thousands of Palestinians fleeing Israel’s brutal crackdown by air and land have taken refuge in Gaza.
Entire families and multi-storey buildings have been wiped out by Israeli airstrikes, and most of the 18,600 people killed since October 7 are women and children.
There are international calls to bring Israel to justice over the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemned reports of “execution-style” killings of civilians in Gaza by Israeli forces.
“As the Joe Biden administration stands alone on the world stage in defending and supporting the right-wing Israeli government’s campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza, United States government officials must respond to reports of execution-style massacres of women, children and infants seeking refuge. at a school in Gaza,” CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said in a statement.
“Our country must stop allowing what even President Biden has privately acknowledged is the ‘indiscriminate’ targeting of innocent Palestinians.”
Meanwhile, the spokesperson for UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Stephane Durajjic, on a separate occasion admitted that he was not aware of the report of the execution.
“After the conflict, there needs to be an investigative body from the UN, which will investigate property losses and casualties from a special UN Commission. But that can only happen after the conflict ends,” Dujarric told reporters.
