Three children and two women reportedly died in the al-Mawasi area on Thursday as a result of the pre-dawn attack, which Israel’s military had declared a “safe zone” early in its assault on Gaza.
In a video clip released shortly after the attack, people were searching for survivors among burned-out tents, scattered debris, and washing lines where camp residents who had been displaced had hung clothes to dry.
Unnamed individuals were also injured in the attack, according to a report from the Reuters news agency.
Israel’s military did not comment on its latest attack on the humanitarian area, which has been targeted relentlessly by Israeli warplanes, drones and artillery, including the most recent attack on December 22, which killed eight people, including two children.
Hundreds of families flocked northward a day before Israeli tanks advanced on al-Mawasi from Rafah, causing them to flee in fear of an imminent attack.
In what Israel’s military claimed was the Israeli military’s attack on a Hamas official, at least 20 people were killed and others were hurt in the Israeli missile strike on tents in al-Mawasi on December 3.
At least 26 people, four of whom were reported to be victims of Israeli attacks in Gaza on January 1st, were killed in addition to a woman, according to reports that she was one of the victims. In addition to the rubble of the buildings that were destroyed in the attack, ten people were missing.
A spokesman for the Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza claimed that 15 people were killed in one attack on a home where displaced people had taken refuge in Jabalia in northern Gaza.
Early on Thursday morning, Israeli forces did not give an early warning about the attack in al-Mawasi, but they had earlier issued instructions to all residents of the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza to flee three areas it claimed were attacked-designated areas.
The warning for residents to flee from Jabalia to Gaza City was described as a “pre- anaesthesia before the attack” by the Israeli military’s Arabic language spokesman, Avichay Adraee.
He stated in a post on social media that “terrorist organizations are launching rockets from your area, which has been warned many times in the past.” <, /p >, <, p>, Despite large parts of northern Gaza, including Jabalia, suffering almost three months of siege by Israeli forces, two United States-based defence think tanks said this week that Palestinian fighters had launched a coordinated, “multi-wave attack” on Israeli forces in Jabalia – one that was larger than most other Palestinian military operations across Gaza in recent months.
