Israeli Strike On Humanitarian Zone Kills At Least Forty

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinian officials say an Israeli strike on a crowded tent camp housing Palestinians displaced by the war in Gaza has killed at least 40 people and wounded 60 others. Israel says it targeted “significant” Hamas militants and disputes the death toll. Gaza’s Civil Defense said it had recovered 40 bodies from the strike in an Israeli-designated humanitarian zone known as Muwasi and was still looking for people. It said entire families were killed as they huddled in tents. An Associated Press camera operator saw three large craters at the scene, where first responders and displaced people were sifting through the sand and rubble with garden tools and their bare hands by the light of mobile phones.
