- At least 19 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, within a designated humanitarian zone for displaced Palestinians.
- The strike was justified by the Israeli military as an operation against Hamas terrorists reportedly active in the area.
- The affected area, known as the Mawasi humanitarian zone, is located in the southwest of Gaza and has been increasingly restricted by Israeli military actions, now covering just 16 square miles.
- Survivors reported that there had been no warning before the airstrike, which resulted in numerous casualties, including women and children, and extensive damage to the encampment.
- Local staff at a UK field hospital reported injuries from shrapnel and noted the absence of fighters in the camp, emphasizing that the victims were displaced civilians.
- Israel’s Army claimed the target was three Hamas commanders involved in attacks on October 7th, though it has not been confirmed if they were among the casualties.
- The repeated bombings of the Mawasi safe zone by Israel, blaming Hamas for using it as cover, have raised questions regarding the adherence to international law in conflict situations.
