️Gaza Civil Defense Directorate:
—
We mourn the martyrdom of three of our heroic members in a direct "israeli" targeting, and the injury of six others, while they were performing their national and humanitarian duty and serving the people of our community in the central governorate.
Our martyrs are: Ammar Rajeh Awad, Abdel Ghafar Ayesh Asaad, and Ziyad Salim Al-Habbash, while six others were injured:
Abdel Rahim Al-Muneerawi, Nidal Abu Hajir, Hatem Abu Taqia, Yahya Al-Talbani, Mohammed Eid, and Yahya Al-Derawi.
We affirm that with the martyrdom of these humanitarian men, the total number of civil defense martyrs during this unjust war rises to 74 martyrs from our courageous staff who sacrificed their lives to protect lives and preserve property.
We strongly condemn the "israeli" occupation's persistence and blatant targeting of humanitarian service and civil protection personnel, whose protection is guaranteed by international charters and laws.
We renew our call to the international community and its UN and human rights institutions to stop the brutal "israeli" aggression against the Gaza Strip, protect humanitarian service providers, and hold the "israeli" occupation accountable for these crimes that have affected all aspects of life.
