GAZA, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement condemned Tuesday the Israeli bombing in Rafah which caused civilian casualties as “a crime against humanity”, stressing that Israel does not only tighten the blockade on the Gaza Strip, but also it persists in the killing of civilians under its siege in full view of the whole world.

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said that Israel’s impudence to commit such crime without regard for the sanctity of the holy month of Ramadan came as a result of the Arab and international silence towards Israel’s practices especially after its genocidal war in Gaza.

Spokesman Barhoum warned that the Arab silence, the Palestinian Authority’s willingness to persist in its peace negotiations and the international connivance made Israel a "legitimate criminal killing, bombing and blockading without any deterrent".

Three Palestinian brothers were killed and seven wounded at dawn Tuesday when Israeli warplanes bombed border areas in Rafah.
