Videos show children killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza ‘safe zone’
Palestinian activists released footage of several children killed in Israeli air raids on the al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza.
Israeli forces early this morning attacked a tent encampment for forcibly displaced people. The videos show bodies of dead children dressed in new Eid al-Fitr clothes drenched in blood. The footage is too graphic to post.
The encampment was designated a “humanitarian safe zone” by Israel in December 2023. The camp at al-Mawasi, near Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah, is one of the most overcrowded areas in Gaza.

Gaza father describes the fear in his children’s eyes
Ezzedine Mousa, a resident of Gaza City, described an overwhelming sense of fear gripping the besieged area under constant Israeli attack.
“People are afraid to visit one another because a rocket could strike at any moment, killing them,” he said. “Our children’s eyes reflect their fear, but we do our best to keep them happy with whatever little we have.”
