According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, 51 people were killed in an Israeli attack on the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the Gaza Strip on Saturday. As a result, several others were injured. Many women and children were among the victims, it was said. The report could not be independently verified at this time. An Israeli military spokesman said he was checking whether the army was deployed in the area at the time.
Israel accuses Hamas of using refugee camps as well as UN schools and hospitals as hideouts and weapons depots. Hamas denies this.
In the Gaza Strip, fighting between the Israeli army and Islamic Hamas continues unabated. Palestinian terrorists attacked Israeli soldiers in the southern Gaza Strip, near the border, with anti-tank missiles on Sunday morning, the Jerusalem Post reported. A good week after the start of the Israeli ground operation, the Israeli army took journalists to the contested Palestinian territory.
Since the start of the war, the Israeli army has repeatedly called on civilians in the northern Gaza Strip to flee to the southern coastal area for their own safety. According to the military, at least around 700,000 people have already done this. The army again gave civilians in the Gaza Strip a window of opportunity to flee on Sunday and also published a map showing the designated road.
