Jeddah, November 12 (QNA) - The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned escalating Israeli occupation attacks in the Gaza Strip, including the bombing of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, which killed and injured dozens of medical staff and patients.

In a statement issued by its General Secretariat, the organization described the attack as a war crime, calling for an investigation and accountability under international criminal law.

The OIC also condemned "organized terrorism" by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, carried out under the protection of Israeli forces.

The latest incident involved an attack on the village of Atara, north of Ramallah, where settlers set fire to vehicles, agricultural land and homes, while terrorizing Palestinian residents.

The organization said the attacks constituted serious violations of international humanitarian law, the Geneva Conventions and relevant United Nations resolutions.

The OIC held Israel fully responsible for the consequences of what it described as systematic violations and called on the international community to intervene immediately to halt attacks across the occupied Palestinian territories.

It also urged the provision of international protection for the Palestinian people and called for sufficient humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza without obstruction. (QNA)
