The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) has accused the Israeli government of carrying out a new wave of what it calls 'organized terrorism' against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The group issued a public condemnation of the attacks, calling them horrific. They constitute a full-scale war crime under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The statement highlighted that the Israeli military operations on Sunday targeted entire families. Many of the victims were women and children. According to the PFLP, this escalation is part of a larger effort. It aims to undermine the recent ceasefire agreement. It also seeks to continue what the group describes as a policy of destruction and collective punishment in Gaza.
Accusations Against Netanyahu’s Government
The PFLP claimed that Israel is intensifying attacks in response to the ceasefire, using Palestinian lives for domestic political gain. The group called on countries involved in brokering the agreement to apply pressure on the Israeli government to stop the aggression and ensure the deal is fully implemented.
The statement also urged the international community to end its silence. It called on the community to take action to stop what the PFLP describes as ongoing crimes against the Palestinian people. The group accused the Israeli government of refusing to honor its commitments under the truce deal. It is instead using drone strikes and assassination operations. It continues what it calls a war of terror.
According to reports from the region, Sunday saw several assassination operations and drone strikes in different areas of the Gaza Strip. These attacks reportedly killed nearly 20 Palestinians, a significant number given the current ceasefire period.
