Sunday, July 14, 2024 (HMC) At least 90 Palestinians, including women and children, were confirmed dead in a heavy bombardment by the Israeli army yesterday targeting tents where civilians lived in located in Al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza.
Gaza health officials said that the area that was attacked was a place that Israel had previously designated as safe and safe for people who were evacuated from areas in the middle and south of the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military said in the attack that they targeted the military commander of Hamas, Mohammed Deyf and the second-in-command of Hamas, Rafa Salama. However, late yesterday, the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that they are not yet sure that Mohammed Deif and Rafa Salama were killed in the attack.
Hamas rejected Israel’s claim that the site of the bombing was in Deyf, describing it as a false story that is only intended to hide the extent of the horrific massacre, as they said.
The Gaza health department said that the bodies found so far in the bombed tents are 91 people, while the injured have exceeded 300. The damage of this attack is said to be the strongest in Gaza this week.
Another air attack carried out by Israel on Saturday in a refugee camp in the west of Gaza, killed at least 20 people, after a shell hit a shopping hall in the west of Gaza City.
The governments of Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Nations have condemned the deadly attack on Al Mawassi by the Israeli army yesterday in southern Gaza.
Israel’s 10-month-old war in Gaza began shortly after Hamas attacked southern Israel, killing more than 1,000 Israelis and abducting hundreds.
Israel has killed more than 38 thousand Palestinians in its ongoing offensive in Gaza.
