Beirut, August 11 (RHC)-- The Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement has roundly denounced the bloody Israeli strike on a school-turned-shelter for displaced Palestinians in Gaza City, stressing that the attack highlights the Tel Aviv regime’s insistence on a genocidal war on the coastal territory and its explicit policy of mass killings.

The group said in a statement on Saturday that the Israeli talk of a Gaza ceasefire and the announcement of dates for resuming ceasefire negotiations are "treachery and deceit."

Hezbollah said the massacre at al-Tabin school in the Daraj neighborhood of central Gaza City took place amid the inaction of the international community, emphasizing that world nations have moral and ethical responsibilities to stop the crimes and massacres being committed by the Zionist enemy.

“What the Israeli regime has done confirms its insistence on a genocide war against Palestinians [in the Gaza Strip] and its explicit policy of mass murder," the group said. 

“These will not trick the Palestinian nation, their fighters and regional resistance factions, as they are utterly determined to stop Israeli massacres and prevent the enemy from attaining its declared and hidden goals,” the Hezbollah statement read.

Hezbollah called on all freedom-loving people of the world to condemn the Israeli attack on the Gaza school, wage protest campaigns against the murderous Tel Aviv regime, and reaffirm their solidarity with Palestinians as they have been enduring the most heinous forms of crimes over the past ten months.

At least 39,790 people have been killed and 91,702 wounded as a result of Israeli military attacks on Gaza since October 7, the region’s Health Ministry announced in a statement.  Of those, 40 Palestinians were killed and 140 wounded in the latest 24-hour reporting period, the ministry added.
