The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned the killing of 13 civilians, including 4 children, in Gaza.
Today, Israeli forces killed four in a strike on a residential apartment in the Al-Samer area of central Gaza City. Six members of a family, including four children, were killed when Israeli forces bombed their home in Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood. Two more were killed in an Israeli strike on a civilian vehicle in Al Zahra, and a woman died from wounds sustained during an Israeli strike several days ago. In total, thirteen have been killed in Gaza by Israeli forces today so far.
In a statement, CAIR said:
“Every day, the genocidal Israeli government violates the so-called ceasefire it signed last year. Israeli forces have not stopped massacring Palestinians – men, women and children. More members of Congress must condemn these massacres carried out with American taxpayer dollars and vote to end all aid to this homicidal rogue government.”
