OIC denounces Israeli occupation massacres in Gaza

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Friday emphatically decried continued massacres and crimes committed by Israeli occupation forces against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. In a press release, the OIC cited the recently reported recovery of burned bodies and collapsed buildings at Tal Al-Hawa and Al-Sinaa neighborhoods in Gaza City as proof of insistence on committing genocides against the Palestinian people in a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law, UN resolutions and International Court of Justice (ICJ) orders. The Jeddah-based Muslim bloc cautioned against the serious escalation of atrocities and organized terrorism by Israeli occupation forces and extremist settlers across the West Bank, including the occupied city of Jerusalem. It, further, called on the international community, particularly the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), to shoulder due responsibility for necessarily halting this atrocious Israeli occupation aggression immediately. Spokesman for Gaza's Civil Defe nce Mahmoud Basal was quoted as saying that 60 bodies had been found in Gaza City's Tal Al-Hawa and Al-Sinaa neighborhoods after Israeli occupation troops had pulled out.
