Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif strongly condemns the occupation forces’ brutal bombing of Al-Tabi'een school, at dawn yesterday, Saturday. The school that houses displaced people in the Al-Daraj neighborhood east of Gaza was bombed while the displaced people were performing the Dawn Prayer, leading to the martyrdom of more than 100 Palestinians and the serious injury of dozens.
Al-Azhar confirms that this treacherous criminal act against innocent civilians standing before God during the Dawn Prayer, along with their women, children, and elderly, is indescribable in any human language. No language can express the cruelty, heinousness, and barbarity of the crime that is devoid of all meanings of mercy and humanity. This enemy has gone too far in killing the vulnerable and innocent, starving them to death, and has become accustomed to blowing up their homes and bombing their shelters, in full view of the international community that has been paralyzed and is unable to stand up to the terrorism of this brutal entity and its supporters. While condemning this criminal terrorist attack, Al-Azhar prays for the martyrs of this massacre, offers its condolences to their surviving relatives, and calls on all free people of the world to continue to pressure this terrorist entity by all means toward stopping its crimes and acts of genocide that it practices daily against the owners of the land in Palestine. Let the world know, Al-Azhar maintains, that history will not show mercy to those who are complacent and silent about these heinous crimes.
