Children among those killed in Israeli attack on al-Mawasi

As we’ve been reporting, two Israeli air strikes have hit al-Mawasi in southern Gaza, killing at least 20 people and setting makeshift tents belonging to displaced people on fire.

A spokesperson for Gaza’s Civil Defence teams told Al Jazeera that children are among those who were killed in the Israeli bombardment of a refugee camp and teams were currently trying to extinguish the fires.

The spokesperson said the Israeli army is well aware that there are only civilians in al-Mawasi. He added that about 20 people were wounded in an Israeli attack on a residential block in the al-Nafaq area north of Gaza City.



Translation: New scenes from the massacre … 20 martyrs and a large number of wounded as the occupation bombed the tents of the displaced in Mawasi Khan Younis, in the south of the Gaza Strip.




Israel claims it targeted Hamas members in deadly al-Mawasi attack

The Israeli army claims it targeted senior Hamas members in its attack on al-Mawasi camp in southern Gaza where at least 20 Palestinians were killed. The army said secondary explosions that were identified suggested “the presence of weaponry in the area”.

According to Palestinian Civil Defence teams, dozens of people were wounded in addition to those killed.

Always the same 'excuse' without any proof. As soon as the IDF names any names of supposedly killed Hamas members it's debunked within hours.
