AL-QUDS – Palestinian resistance group Hamas called on regional leaders on Monday to "break their silence” on the Zionist regime blockade of Gaza.
The occupying regime has bombed the coastal Palestinian strip almost daily since August 6.The regime has also tightened its 13-year blockade of Gaza’s two million inhabitants.
It has banned Gaza fishermen from going to sea and closed its goods crossing with the territory, prompting the closure of Gaza’s sole power plant for want of fuel.
Hamas in a statement called the closure of the Kerem Shalom crossing a "crime against humanity” and called on the international community and "decision-makers in the region” to "break their silence to bring an end” to the blockade.
Hamas also said that the normalization of relations between the Zionist regime and the United Arab Emirates helps "maintain crimes and violations” against the Palestinians.
The Zionist regime’s warplanes carried out more air raids on the Gaza Strip early on Monday.
Monday’s attacks reportedly targeted "a Hamas tunnel and some military points”, the regime’s army said in a statement, Al Jazeera reported.
According to Palestinian news agency WAFA, the warplanes targeted an area east of the town of al-Qarara, in the southern city of Khan Younis, with at least three missiles, leaving behind a deep crater.
Moreover, the regime’s artillery struck a site east of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, which led to its destruction and catching fire.
The Gaza Strip has a population of two million people, more than half of whom live in poverty, according to the World Bank. The Palestinian territory has been under a devastating blockade by the regime since 2007.
The chief of the regime’s military’s Southern Command Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi visited Qatar amid heightened tensions in Gaza, a report says.
Halevi flew to Doha on Monday along with other officials from the regime’s military and spy agencies Shin Bet and Mossad to ask Hamas leaders residing there to prevent a military escalation in Gaza, the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat reported.
"The delegation worked on negotiating an agreement or a ceasefire accepted by Hamas leaders residing in the Qatari capital, mainly Ismail Haniyeh and Saleh al-Arouri,” it quoted intelligence sources in the occupied territories as saying.
While Egypt has been seeking to mediate a ceasefire, the report said the regime’s military wants to see Doha play a larger role in mediating.
