Over 70 civilians massacred in an Israeli air attack on Gaza’s Al-Maghazi refugee camp

Gaza (Quds News) – At least 70 civilians were brutally massacred last night in an Israeli air attack in central Gaza’s al-Maghazi refugee camp, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

Ashraf al-Qudra, a spokesman for the ministry, said in a press statement that the toll is likely to rise.

“What is happening at the al-Maghazi camp is a massacre that is being committed on a crowded residential square,” he said.

Dozens more were reported injured while multiple houses were reduced to rubble in the attack, as families dug through the rubble in an attempt to find survivors.

“We were all targeted,” said Ahmad Turokmani, who lost several family members including his daughter and grandson. “There is no safe place in Gaza anyway.”

The al-Maghazi camp was the scene of an earlier massacre last month as well when at least 50 Palestinians were killed.

The nearest hospital to the camp is the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, but health facilities have been rendered non-functional across Gaza as Israel continues to bombard the territory for the third month in a row, killing more than 20,500 Palestinians since October 7 and displacing more than 80 percent of the 2.3 million people who live there.
