A horrific massacre against the displaced in Al-Mawasi and Hamas: The occupation’s demolition of residential neighborhoods is an unprecedented war crime

Twenty Palestinians were killed in an Israeli bombardment of the displaced persons camp in the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, while Hamas confirmed that the occupation army’s continued demolition of residential neighborhoods and squares constitutes “an unprecedented war crime in contemporary history.”

The Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip said that its crews are working to extinguish fires that broke out in the tents of the displaced in Mawasi Khan Yunis after Israeli shelling that led to the death and injury of dozens of Palestinians.

The spokesman for the Civil Defense in Gaza confirmed to Al Jazeera that 20 martyrs, including children, were killed in an Israeli bombardment of the displaced persons camp in Mawasi, Khan Yunis.

The tents and properties caught fire as a result of the Israeli raid, and the displaced rushed to try to put out the fire and rescue the injured, according to eyewitnesses to the Anadolu Agency correspondent.
