Israeli air strikes on a so-called “humanitarian zone” in southern Gaza’s al-Mawasi killed at least 40 people on Tuesday, according to health authorities in the enclave.

The strikes targeted at least 20 tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the coastal area near the city of Khan Younis.

Eyewitnesses told AFP that at least five rockets fell in the area, with emergency services saying the strikes created craters up to nine metres deep.

    We also have tons of evidence of the IDF using civilians as human shields, including children.

        Yeah. There’s a reason you haven’t heard about it.

        You can search for it yourself. Or look at another comment I made either in this thread or another where I linked to several sources about it.

        This is a religious ethnostate with compulsory military service where they indoctrinate every single one of their citizens to believe that Palestinians are subhuman. And I mean this quite literally, they have completely dehumanized the Palestinian people in ever sense of the word.

        And when you don’t see them as people, they can become useful meat shields.
