BNP condemns Israeli attacks, urges global action to stop Gaza bloodshed
Strongly condemning the illegal and inhumane attacks by Israel on the Palestinian people, BNP on Friday called on the global community to take urgent action to halt the bloodshed in the Gaza Strip.
“Even during the holy month of Ramadan, inhuman and brutal acts of violence are being carried out against the Palestinian people,” BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said in a statement.
He said the Gaza Strip has been turned into a slaughterhouse, with over a thousand Palestinians, including women and infants, being brutally killed in indiscriminate airstrikes that blatantly disregard international norms.
Despite the ceasefire, Fakhrul said the renewed attacks are illegal and constitute a heinous crime against humanity.
“The international community must take immediate steps to stop the bloodshed in Gaza. This horrific and bloody aggression by Israel is a well-planned strategy to annihilate the Palestinian nation,” he said.
The BNP leader accused the Israeli occupying forces of pursuing a strategy of dominance without any consideration for global public opinion.

He urged the international community to take a stronger stance in halting Israel's expansionist aggression in Palestine, stressing the importance of maintaining peace, stability, and the security of people's lives and property in the region.
Fakhrul prayed for the salvation of the souls of Palestinians killed in the Israeli military attacks and expressed his deepest sympathies to their loved ones. “I also wish a speedy recovery to the injured."

Israeli fire kills 7 Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank
In the occupied West Bank, Israeli fire killed three Palestinians, including a 58-year-old woman, in the restive city of Jenin on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The Israeli military stated that two of those killed were militants engaged in an exchange of fire with troops. A third individual, who allegedly opened fire at Israeli forces, was also killed. Additionally, 10 people were arrested, and two vehicles loaded with weapons were destroyed, the army said.
