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.

      Blatant whataboutism :)

      Edit: How easy would it be for them to say that both might be true? Very. But if they said that Hamas would lose credibility, and bring into question the whole “freedom fighter” schtick. Can’t address it, must focus on allegations of genocide and accusing others of defending genocide if anyone brings up something critical of Hamas (please peruse their comment history), thereby derailing any discussion on the matter.

      See? It’s that easy.

          In fitting behavior, I could ask for evidence those Hamas military figures were elsewhere. However, I’m confident subsequent reviews of this event and others like it will uncover the truth, and perhaps we’ll get another extensive report on the matter (did you read my link?).

          I think we both know that lies travel faster than evidence, don’t we?

          Don’t really care about the reply, I got what I wanted.
