AAPSO president Prof Anisuzzaman, general secretary Prof A.H. Sydur Rahman and Joint Secretary Hasan Tarique Chowdhury in a statement to the press said that after a weeklong bombardment of innocent children, women and civilian population, the war machinery of Israel is escalating further its aggression with a ground invasion.

More than 500 people have died in this State-sponsored terrorism. "The massacre by Israeli forces is crime against humanity and should have to be put to an international court," said the Bangladesh unit of the trans-boundary organisation.
