Medical sources reported that nine citizens were killed and several others injured after the Israeli warplanes targeted a house in the Nusseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Simultaneously, a number of civilians were wounded by Israeli occupation forces’ gunfire inside the Al-Shifa Medical Complex west of Gaza City.

Medical and local sources said multiple civilians were injured after the occupation forces surrounded hundreds of displaced persons, patients, medical teams, and journalists inside the medical complex, located in the Al-Remal neighborhood.

Israeli warplanes also targeted a house belonging to the Felfel family in the Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood southwest of Gaza City.

Geneva, Syria’s permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Ambassador Haydar Ali Ahmad, said that the so-called ‘The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria’ continues its role as a tool for states sponsoring terrorism that fabricates lies and presents reports that have nothing to do with reality, stressing that it has become a tool to polish the image of terrorist groups and promote illegal structures which constitute direct support for these groups and direct involvement in threatening Syria’s territorial integrity.

‘The so-called Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria continues, as usual, performing its assigned political function as its reports affirm the goal that lies behind its foundation and reveals the poor and contradictory methodology that featured its reports since a decade,’ Ali Ahmad said in a statement on Monday during the fifty-fifth session of the UN Human Rights Council.

Ambassador Ahmad wondered whether that was the role expected from huma
n rights mechanisms, saying ‘do not the crimes committed against Syria by the sponsoring states for that mandate deserve even a word of condemnation, is it not supposed to discuss responsibility about the acts of direct aggression by the Israeli occupation entity against residential neighborhoods and civil facilities, and the illegal Turkish-American military presence, supporting terrorism, plundering natural resources, threatening territorial integrity.’

The Syrian diplomat added that Syria continues to work to ensure the voluntary return of all Syrian refugees to their homeland and calls for support and consideration of these efforts and to the immediate and unconditional end of the coercive measures imposed by the West that badly affect the lives of the Syrians.
