TEHRAN, December 23 (MNA) – Israel has violated all the rules of war in the Gaza Strip, the commissioner-general of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) said Sunday.Philippe Lazzarini highlighted the ongoing violations in the enclave, where Israel has continued its attacks for the past 14 months.

“Escalation over the past 24 hours.

More civilians are reported killed and injured,” he said in a post on his X account, according to Anadolu Agency.

“Attacks on schools and hospitals have been commonplace.

The world must not become numb.

All wars have rules.

All of those rules have been broken.” Lazzarini also emphasized that a cease-fire in Gaza is "long overdue," calling for a halt to the attacks to protect civilians.

Israel launched a genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, that has killed more than 45,200 people, mostly women and children.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last month for the Israeli regime's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former war minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the enclave.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on Gaza.
