Two Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday killed at least 88 people, more than half of whom were women and children, according to officials AMMAN: Jordan has condemned the latest Israeli attack on civilians, targeting a residential building in Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip, describing it as a “new massacre committed by the Israeli occupation forces.” Two Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday killed at least 88 people, more than half of whom were women and children, according to officials. “This attack resulted in the deaths and injuries of hundreds, with many still missing under the rubble, constituting a blatant violation of international law and a systematic disregard for the lives of Palestinians amid a complete absence of international accountability for the war crimes committed against them,” state news agency Petra reported, quoting Jordan’s foreign affairs ministry. In a statement, ministry Sufian Al-Qudah said Israel’s ongoing violations against Palestinians and its breaches of international law and international humanitarian law reflected a global failure to strictly enforce legal standards. He said what he described as “persistent impunity and lack of effective accountability” encouraged Israel to continue with its violations. He called on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to take immediate and effective action amid Israel’s systematic policy of committing “war crimes and genocide” against the Palestinian people.
