Recent Israeli air strikes on encampments for displaced Palestinians in Gaza have resulted in at least 40 fatalities, primarily affecting women and children. The strikes have drawn attention for occurring in areas designated as safe. Hamas officials are responding to Israel's truce offer while accusing the Israeli military of war crimes, including starvation tactics against civilians. Reports indicate a significant number of casualties, with ongoing tensions as the situation develops amid international concerns for the humanitarian crisis in the region.
Israa Abu al-Rus described the chaos and destruction, saying, 'We were sitting peacefully in the tent, under God's protection, when we suddenly saw something red glowing and then the tent exploded, and the surrounding tents caught fire.'
Hamas condemned the Israeli strikes, stating, 'This is a public admission of committing a war crime, including the use of starvation as a weapon and the denial of basic necessities such as food, medicine, water, and fuel.'
