Selçuk Bayraktar, the chief technology officer (CTO) and chairperson of the board of the Turkish drone magnate Baykar, announced that the company would make a $10 million donation for critically-needed humanitarian assistance to Gaza.
In a message he posted on X, formerly Twitter, Bayraktar harshly criticized Israel’s indiscriminate attacks, as he said the country is committing war crimes by targeting hospitals, schools and places of worship.
On Oct. 17, Israeli warplanes hit the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, killing at least 500 people.
On Wednesday, the country targeted a mosque inside a refugee camp, while it targeted the Greek Orthodox Church in Gaza late Thursday.
“It is only hypocrisy – those, who derive their identity from fighting genocide, today resort to genocide themselves,” Bayraktar said, as he called on the international community to take action to restore peace and stop the massacres in Gaza.
“Silence is complicity,” Bayraktar said.
Gaza has been under heavy Israeli bombardment for 13 days, leaving millions at risk. A hospital attack that killed hundreds in the Palestinian city aggravated the situation.
A limited number of trucks carrying aid are expected to cross the shuttered Rafah crossing from Egypt into Gaza as of Friday.

The S5 tail-numbered Bayraktar TB2 that joined the fleet, accumulated nearly 1 million flight hours, in 2014 has become the first UAV to complete its operational airframe life, having successfully surpassed 10,000 flight hours. The Bayraktar TB2 S5, now retired from active duty, will continue to serve within Baykar for training and test flights as part of airframe lifecycle research.
Following the February 6 earthquakes, Baykar provided a total of 5 billion Turkish Lira in aid to help meet the needs of earthquake survivors. As part of this relief initiative, 1,012 permanent housing units built in Adıyaman, Hatay, and Kahramanmaraş are being delivered to their rightful owners.
Ukraine's destruction of Russian artillery systems and armoured vehicles with Turkish Bayraktar TB2 aerial drones has made "the whole world" a customer, according to its designer.
