Gaza: Family of four killed in Israeli attack on tent in so-called Mawasi “safe zone”
Gaza (Quds News Network)- Four members of the same family were killed and other injured late last night in an Israeli attack that targeted their makeshift tent in southern Gaza’s al-Mawasi, which Israel had designated as a “humanitarian zone”.
Local sources confirmed that the victims included two young children and their parents.
The al-Mawasi area has been widely targeted by the Israeli military over the past week.
Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians have taken shelter in al-Mawasi after Israel ordered them to leave northern and eastern Gaza soon after the assault broke out in October 2023.
Al-Mawasi witnessed several deadly Israeli attacks, including a devastating attack on July 13, when Israeli air strikes on displaced Palestinians killed at least 88 and wounded 289 others, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
