Hamas condemns criminal Zionist attack on humanitarian aid ship

GAZA, May 03 (YPA) – The Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” condemned the Israeli occupation forces’ attack on the Freedom Flotilla ship in international waters, dubbing it as an act of piracy and state-terrorism that requires condemnation and urgent international intervention.

“The drone attack carried out last night by the criminal Zionist occupation army on The Conscience ship – part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition – while it was sailing in international waters en-route to deliver humanitarian aid to our people in the Gaza Strip, constitutes a blatant act of piracy and organized state-terrorism,” Hamas said in a statement on Friday.

“We strongly condemn this crime, which reflects the terrorist nature of the occupation entity and its flagrant defiance of the will of humanity and justice. We hold its fascist government fully responsible for the safety of the ship and its crew, whose lives are endangered by this criminal targeting,” it added.

“We commend the courageous efforts of the ship’s crew and all activities held worldwide for lifting the siege and ending the aggression on Gaza. We stand in solidarity with them and urge continuation of their mission in exposing the fascism of the Zionist war criminals,” Hamas emphasized.

The Movement called on all countries of the world to condemn this crime, urging the UN’s institutions, especially the Security Council, “to intervene to stop the violations of the rogue occupation entity, compel it to end its aggression against the Palestinian people, and hold its leaders accountable for their crimes against humanity.”
