Israel bombs tents in Rafah humanitarian zone, kills 25 Palestinians
Another indiscriminate attack by the Israeli regime on a "humanitarian zone" in the besieged Gaza Strip has killed at least 25 Palestinians and injured 50 others.
Media reports say the casualties were caused by Israeli shelling of tents in the Al-Mawasi area, which the regime had designated as a "humanitarian safe zone."
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement that, "Our crews are dealing with a large number of martyrs and injuries after an Israeli bombing of the tents of displaced persons in the Al-Mawasi area, west of the city of Rafah."
After launching sound bombs to attract people around one of the local makeshift hospitals in al-Mawasi, near Rafah, Israeli forces fired an explosive shell at the area, killing at least eight Palestinians, Al Jazeera quoted eyewitnesses as saying.
There are between 60,000 and 75,000 Palestinians in the Al-Mawasi area, where many Palestinians have taken refuge since the start of the Israeli invasion of Rafah.
In a separate attack, at least 10 Palestinians were killed and 17 wounded after Israeli forces bombed a house in al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City.
The dead and wounded were taken to Al Ahli Baptist Hospital on Friday afternoon.
The Israeli war machine began the genocide in Gaza in early October after the Gaza resistance launched Operation al-Aqsa Storm in reaction to intensified Israeli violence against Palestinians and repeated acts of desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The regime has committed numerous massacres over the past nine months, killing nearly 37,400 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 85,500 since.
On June 8, Israeli forces killed at least 274 Palestinians and injured over 500 others in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza to free four Israeli captives.
Despite the mass killings, the regime has so far failed to achieve its stated objectives of eliminating the Hamas resistance movement and securing the release of its captives.
