Dozens of Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes on a tent encampment designated as a humanitarian zone in Khan Younis, Gaza officials said early on Tuesday, in what the Israeli military said was an attack on a Hamas command centre.

A Gaza civil defence official told Agence France-Presse that 40 people were killed in the attack inside the Al-Mawasi camp in the southern Gaza Strip. Earlier, the civil emergency service said airstrikes on a tent camp for displaced Palestinians killed and wounded 65 people in the southern part of the strip, but did not break down the number of dead and injured.

Residents and medics said the tent encampment in the al-Mawasi area was struck by at least four missiles. The camp is crowded with displaced Palestinians who have fled from elsewhere in the enclave.

    Amazing how every time they designate a new “safe zone” for people to go to they’re utterly incapable of stopping Hamas from setting up camp. Either that or they’re full of shit.
