Jordan deplores Israeli occupation targeting of civilians in Gaza

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry Saturday openly denounced the Israeli occupation's brutal aggression against the Gaza Strip, and its systematic targeting of civilians, the latest of which was an attack on refugee tents in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza Strip. The ministry's spokesman Sufyan Al-Qudah said in a press statement that his country condemns the Israeli occupation's continued violation of international law and international humanitarian law, defiance of the international community and the international will to end the war on Gaza. He called on the international community to move promptly and effectively to provide protection to the Palestinian people, hospitals, and humanitarian relief organizations that provide vital services to Gazans. Palestinian health authorities said earlier in the day that 71 Palestinians were martyred and scores of others injured in a renewed massacre by Israeli occupation forces on Khan Yunis.
