Gaza’s civil defence director has said at least 100 people were killed in an Israeli attack on the Jabalia refugee camp, Al Jazeera reports.
“These buildings house hundreds of citizens. The occupation’s air force destroyed this district with six US-made bombs. It is the latest massacre caused by Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip,” Ahmad al-Kahlout told reporters outside a hospital in Khan Younis. “The international community must act immediately to stop Israel before it is too late,” he added.
Meanwhile, Iran has issued a warning that Tehran-backed groups may take action against Israel in response to its conflict with Hamas, potentially leading to a broader spillover of violence if a ceasefire is not reached.
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran’s top diplomat, conveyed this message during discussions in Doha, Qatar. He met with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani and his Qatari counterpart to explore diplomatic solutions.
“It is natural that the resistance groups and movements do not remain silent against all these crimes,” Amir-Abdollahian stated, as per Iran’s foreign ministry. “They will not wait for anyone’s advice, therefore we need to use the last political opportunities to stop the war,” he emphasised after talks with Sheikh Tamim, warning that the situation could “get out of control.”
