At least 19 people have been killed in an Israeli strike in the designated humanitarian zone in southern Gaza, according to Hamas-run health ministry.
The blasts destroyed an area crowded with tents for displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi, south-west of Khan Younis, leaving huge craters in the sand.
Al-Mawasi has been crammed with Palestinians living in tents since the Israeli army designated the coastal area a “safe zone” during its ground invasions of Khan Younis and Rafah.
The Israeli military said its aircraft attacked what it called “a number of senior Hamas terrorists” operating there, a claim Hamas denied.
Hundreds of thousands of people have sought shelter in the humanitarian zone along Gaza’s southern Mediterranean coast, after being ordered by the Israeli military to evacuate there for their own safety over the past 11 months.
