At least 71 Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air strike that hit a densely populated area of displaced people in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis in Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry says.
The Israeli military had designated this area as a safe zone, urging Palestinians to seek shelter there.
I feel sick. I hope all Israeli war criminals will end up in prison, starting with Netanyahu.
Probably. It saves them the cost of barbed wire and crematoriums. Plus, they are able to keep pretending Holocaust was a one off and they are definitely not commiting one now.....
Funny how the descendants of victims turned into perpetrators, eh?
At least 71 Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air strike that hit a densely populated area of displaced people in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis in Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry says.The Israeli military had designated this area as a safe zone, urging Palestinians to seek shelter there.More than 289 people were injured in the strike, according to the health ministry's statement.The Israeli military said it is looking into the incident.
Israeli media is reporting that senior Hamas leader Mohammed Deif was a target of the attack.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold security talks through the day, his office said according to Reuters.
An eyewitness told the BBC that the site of the strike looked like an "earthquake" had hit, and videos from the area show smouldering wreckage and bloodied casualties being loaded onto stretchers.
People can be seen trying desperately to pick through the rubble of a large crater with their hands.Footage from the nearby Kuwait field hospital revealed chaos with patients being treated on the floor.A Hamas official, cited by Reuters, called the attack a “grave escalation” that showed Israel was not interested in reaching a ceasefire agreement.

Two Israeli officials said that the military had targeted Mr. Deif while he was inside a fenced Hamas-run compound that was not used as a camp for displaced people.
That isn’t really what the rest of article you linked to says. The next two paragraphs are about video evidence that partially (and maybe wholly) contradicts the IDF statement you quoted:
Video filmed at the scene of the strike appeared to corroborate parts of the military’s statement but not others.
Filmed by Mustafa Abutaha, a professor of English, the footage showed a large crater in a tree-lined plot of land close to a four-story residential building. A high wall separated part of the plot from the road, suggesting that it was an enclosed compound. But as he filmed the video, Mr. Abutaha said the plot had housed displaced people. Shortly afterward, a second man passed in front of the camera, holding a motionless child.
The NY Times isn’t reporting from the ground. They have a statement from the IDF and video footage contradicting at least part of the IDF’s story.
Were all these people in Rafah who were bombed and murdered ''Hamas''?
Was the child who got beheaded a Hamas member? The video is still somewhere on Instagram but Instagram is restricting all accounts with it.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says it “is not absolutely certain” that Hamas terror chief Muhammad Deif and his deputy Rafa’a Salameh were eliminated in today’s IDF strike in Gaza.
Wow great success there. Just bomb the safe zone refugee camp and if anyone asks you 'missed deif' oopsie haha.
So I learned recently countries have a calculation of how many civilians would be acceptable casualties in order to eliminate a high value target.
For example, the US in it's hunt for Bin-Laden, had an acceptable civilian casualty number of 30 to kill him.
Israel just killed 71 and wounded who knows how many more to hit a guy I've never heard of. They say they probably didn't get him, and today I learned they've already killed his family in other strikes and he may have even been dead for years at this point.
The casualty math is gross but I get it. What Israel is doing is pure atrocity. Biden needs to get off Netanyahu and the Republicans' collective dick or we will have Trump cheering shit like this on.
