At least 14 reported killed in Israeli strike targeting Hamas war room
Gazan authorities claim at least 14 people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a tent encampment in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, without indicating if they are civilians or Hamas operatives.
Residents and medics say the Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone was struck by at least four missiles, leaving craters as deep as nine meters (30 feet). Gaza’s Hamas-run civil emergency service says at least 20 tents caught on fire.

Another huge massacre in Al_Mawasi in Khan Yunis — an area designated by Israel as a “safe zone” for the internally displaced Palestinians.

“Our teams are still moving out martyrs and wounded from the targeted area. It looks like a new Israeli massacre,” a Gaza civil emergency official says.
Israel says it struck Hamas terrorists in a command and control center embedded inside the humanitarian zone.
