ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Tuesday strongly condemned the raids and airstrikes carried out by the Israeli occupation forces in Jenin in the occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank, which killed at least 10 Palestinians and injured some 50 others.

“Pakistan condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the raids and airstrikes carried out by the Israeli occupation forces since yesterday in Jenin in the occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank, which killed 10 Palestinians and injured some 50 others,” the Foreign Office said in a statement on Tuesday.

“This latest episode of violence against the occupied people of Palestine by the occupying power must end immediately,” the Foreign Office spokesperson said in a statement.

The spokesperson reiterated Pakistan’s calls for the international community to assume its responsibility in bringing these brutal and illegal actions by the Israeli occupation forces to a halt and to ensure the protection of the human rights of the Palestinian people.

Pakistan reaffirmed its strong and unwavering support to the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people for the full realization of their rights and freedoms – including the right to self-determination.
