OIC Calls Israeli Attack on Gaza Hospital ‘Organized State Terrorism’
In a statement on Wednesday, the OIC expressed its strong condemnation of “the brutal Israeli massacre in the Baptist Hospital in the Gaza Strip,” adding that it “considers it organized state terrorism and a war crime.”
It held the “Israeli occupation accountable for the consequences of its crimes, terrorist practices and brutal attacks against the Palestinian people, which contradict all human values and constitute a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law”.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group waged a surprise attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.
So far, 3,500 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air raids, including more than 1,000 children and 1,000 women.
The Gaza Health Ministry said an Israeli airstrike Tuesday hit a Gaza City hospital packed with wounded and other Palestinians seeking shelter, killing above 1,000 civilians.
