Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Monday that it strongly condemned and denounced the “continued massacres of the Israeli occupation forces,” the latest of which was an airstrike on a center for displaced people near Rafah.

Overnight Israeli strikes set ablaze tents of displaced Palestinians in Rafah, leaving at least 40 dead according to Palestinian officials.

The ministry blasted Israeli forces for their continued “targeting of defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip,” underscoring the Kingdom’s rejection of Israel’s ‘blatant violations of all international and humanitarian decisions, laws and norms.”

The area, in Rafah’s northwest, was overcrowded with tents from people fleeing the assault on the city, which the Biden administration has warned against because of the risk to civilians’ lives. Footage on social media showed fire spreading across tents as people pulled out the dead and injured.

The Israeli army said that the air strikes killed two senior Hamas operatives and that it was investigating the reports of civilians killed in a fire.

The ministry said that Saudi Arabia urges the international community to “immediately intervene to end the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation.”
