At least 40 people have been killed and 60 injured in an Israeli attack on a tent encampment for displaced Palestinians in southern Gaza, civil emergency authorities said.
Rescuers searching for survivors said they found craters of up to 9 metres deep at the tent camp, while chaotic scenes unfolded with fires burning and Israeli reconnaissance planes overhead.
Israeli authorities asserted that they targeted significant Hamas terrorists operating from a command and control centre within the humanitarian zone in Khan Younis, claiming prior measures had been taken to protect civilians.
Hamas denied the presence of its fighters in the targeted area, accusing Israeli authorities of using false narratives to justify their attacks.
