🇮🇱 Israeli airstrikes devastate a designated safe zone in southern Gaza's al-Mawasi camp, killing at least 19 and injuring scores more, with many feared buried under sand. The pre-dawn attack left a crater the size of a small football pitch, incinerating tents and burying families.

🇮🇱 Israeli airstrikes devastate a designated safe zone in southern Gaza's al-Mawasi camp, killing at least 19 and injuring scores more, with many feared buried under sand. The pre-dawn attack left a crater the size of a small football pitch, incinerating tents and burying families. Israel claims it targeted a Hamas command center; Hamas denies. The UN peace envoy condemned the strike on a densely populated area, calling for an immediate ceasefire and hostage release.

Israeli air strikes on tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in a ‘humanitarian zone’ in Gaza’s al-Mawasi have killed at least 40 people, with the bombs gouging out craters up to nine metres deep. Local officials say it is ‘one of the most horrific massacres’ since the war began.
