The Israeli army has killed more than 21,500 children and targeted 1,244 out of 1,275 mosques in Gaza since the start of its military campaign in October 2023, the Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip said in a statement released on Monday.
The office reported that the Israeli occupation army continues to commit “the most heinous crimes against humanity” and violates international humanitarian law and international conventions.
The statement highlighted that Israeli forces are “systematically and intentionally targeting defenseless civilians and their inhabited homes, disregarding all international and UN calls” to halt the aggressions.
“The occupation continues to shed the blood of innocents, specifically children, as the number of child martyrs since the start of the genocidal war has exceeded 21,500, a catastrophic toll reflecting the brutality of this organised crime,” the office stated.
The Gaza Media Office also warned of an ongoing targeting of places of worship across the enclave. Out of 1,275 mosques in Gaza, Israeli forces have targeted 1,244, with 1,077 of them completely destroyed.
The office condemned these actions “in the strongest terms” and held Israel, as well the silent international community, responsible for the continuation of the genocide and the deliberate targeting of civilians, children, and religious sites.
