Israeli occupation forces (IOF) launched an air strike on a house, in a serious escalation of its aggression on the Gaza Strip.
IOF warplanes struck and completely destroyed the building hosting the Council of Ministers in Gaza City.
As of the time this press release is issued, IOF attacks have left 37 Palestinians killed; including 6 children and 2 women, and 398 injured; including 133 children and 67 women.
This escalation of IOF attacks and the nature of their targets raise the concerns that military operations are developing into an operation similar to Operation Cast Lead in December 2008 and January 2009.
Al Mezan condemns the IOF violations of international law and calls for international intervention to protect Palestinian civilians.
