Israeli missiles set ablaze a tent camp for displaced Palestinians in southern Gaza, killing or wounding dozens of people, the enclave's civil emergency service said on Tuesday, in what the Israeli military called a strike on a Hamas command centre.A Palestinian boy looks at a deep crater following Israeli strikes on a tent camp sheltering displaced people at the Al-Mawasi area in the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
Residents and medics said the tent encampment near Khan Younis in the Al-Mawasi area, which Israel has designated a humanitarian safe zone for displaced Palestinians, was struck by at least four missiles. The camp is crowded with families ordered by the Israeli military to flee there from elsewhere in the territory.
There was no immediate comment from the Gaza Health Ministry, which compiles casualty figures. Earlier, the Hamas-aligned Shehab News Agency said 40 Palestinians were killed."Our teams are still moving out martyrs and wounded from the targeted area. It looks like a new Israeli massacre," a Gaza civil emergency official said.
"This is a clear lie that aims to justify these ugly crimes. The resistance has denied several times that any of its members exist within civilian gatherings or use these places for military purposes," said Hamas in a statement.
