The Israeli occupation has bombarded the home of Al-Sawarkah family during the last Israeli aggression against Gaza and killed eight civilians. Yesterday, the ninth martyr passed away after sustaining a serious injury.

This Israeli crime is one of dozens of criminal acts perpetrated by the Israeli occupation against Palestinian families. The Israeli occupation, indeed, commits criminal acts and has a ‘genocide mentality’.

We think that the Israeli leaders must be held accountable at the International criminal court for committing atrocities against the Palestinian people. Undoubtedly, the Israeli occupation will pay the price for its record of criminal acts.
