Clinic: 20 people killed in attack in Gaza Strip
In Al-Mawasi in the south of the embattled Gaza Strip, thousands of displaced people are housed in tents. There are said to have been many victims again in a bombardment there.
According to hospital reports, at least 20 people were killed in an Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip this evening. Israel’s army hit tents of displaced people in Al-Mawasi near Khan Yunis in the south of the sealed-off coastal strip, said employees at the nearby Nasser Clinic. There are also five minors among them. Accordingly, there were also injured people in the bombing.
When asked, the Israeli army said it had attacked high-ranking Hamas members in the area. These were “involved in terrorist activities in the humanitarian area in Khan Yunis.” After the air strike there were further explosions. This suggests that weapons were struck in the area.
Weapons stored there also exploded during the air strike. Hamas is hiding in the humanitarian zone and using the civilian population there as a shield.
The information provided by both sides could not initially be independently verified.
In the past, the Israeli military had attacked several times in the Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone. According to the information, the target was Hamas command centers.
More than 44,500 people have been killed and more than 105,000 injured in Gaza since the war began nearly 14 months ago, according to the Hamas-controlled health authority. The information does not distinguish between civilians and fighters.
