Israeli air strikes leave craters in Gazan tent camp as dozens dead and injured

And so the war gets bigger and bigger as Netanyahu murders more and more human beings – evil, evil, evil – Mark

An Israeli strike on a crowded tent camp housing Palestinians displaced by the war in Gaza killed more than 19 people and wounded 60 early on Tuesday, officials said, as Israel said it targeted senior Hamas militants with precise munitions.

Israel said it had struck a command centre for Hamas fighters who it said had infiltrated the humanitarian area in al-Mawasi, a vast camp on sandy soil where the military has told hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to shelter since ordering them out of their homes. Hamas denied any fighters were present.

The Gaza Health Ministry, which compiles casualty figures, said hospitals had so far received 19 bodies, with other victims under sand and on roads that rescuers could not reach.

The Civil Defense, first responders who operate under the Hamas-run government, had earlier said 40 people were killed and later raised that to 65. The Israeli military disputed that toll.
