Turkey slams ‘new crime against humanity’ after Gaza school strike
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleISTANBUL, Turkey — Turkey denounces a “new crime against humanity” after Israel’s deadly strike on a school in Gaza killed dozens of people, according to a foreign ministry statement.
“Israel has committed a new crime against humanity by massacring more than a hundred civilians who had taken refuge in a school,” the ministry says, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of wanting “to sabotage ceasefire negotiations.”
The Gaza Strip’s Hamas-run civil defense agency said over 90 people were killed in Saturday’s airstrike, describing the incident as a “horrific massacre.” The IDF said it targeted a terrorist command room inside the building, and expressed heavy skepticism toward the claim, saying the numbers appeared to have been inflated.
