Israel struck displacement camp in al-Mawasi as Amnesty says Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to genocide.
The Israeli military has killed at least 39 Palestinians in overnight strikes across the Gaza Strip, medics said, including at least 21 in an attack that set ablaze tents sheltering displaced Palestinian families in a crowded camp.
Residents carried a body wrapped in carpets out of the charred wreckage of the makeshift shelters in al-Mawasi, near the beach west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, where tens of thousands of people have sheltered for months. Israel calls the area a so-called “safe zone”, but has repeatedly attacked displacement tents in the area.
Mourners said the latest attacks demonstrated that a new declaration from international human rights group Amnesty International that Israel was guilty of genocide in Gaza had come too late.
Gaza medics said the 21 confirmed killed in the Israeli strike there included women and children. Israel claimed the strike targeted senior Hamas members, whom it did not identify.
