WEST BANK (Dispatches) – Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has announced the Balkan country’s decision to halt exports of weapons to the Zionist regime amid its ongoing war of extermination against Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
Vučić announced in a statement that the measure was taken following a meeting with the extended staff of the Chief of the General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces.
The decision came only a day after student protesters staged a demonstration, organized by the group “Support for the People of Palestine - Serbia” in Belgrade to denounce arms exports to Israel.
At least 24 Palestinians desperately seeking food aid amid widespread hunger in Gaza were killed, and dozens more were injured early on Tuesday morning in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting various areas in the war-battered coastal sliver.
According to local reports, rescue and civil defense crews recovered five bodies from under the rubble of a house bombed in the Sabra neighborhood south of Gaza City.
They were transferred to al-Shifa Medical Complex, along with a number of wounded.
In a related development, medical sources at al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat reported that the hospital received 19 corpses and 146 wounded Palestinians as a result of the bombing that targeted hundreds of people waiting for food on Salah al-Din Street just south of Wadi Gaza in the center of the Strip.
The sources explained that 62 of the injured were in critical condition and were transferred to hospitals in the central Gaza Strip for treatment.
At least 56,000 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, in the brutal Israeli military onslaught on Gaza since October 7, 2023.
The Internati onal Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Zionist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former war minister Yoav Gallant, citing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
The Zionist regime also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the besieged coastal territory.
