Gaza’s health ministry said dozens were martyred on Saturday in an Israeli strike on a displacement camp in an area where Israel said it targeted Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif.
A statement from the Gaza health ministry said there were more than 71 martyrs” and 289 people wounded in what it called a “brutal massacre by the occupation, a reference to Israel, at Al Mawasi camp.
Hamas immediately rejected the Israeli claim that Mohammed Deif was targeted.
“These false claims are merely a cover-up for the scale of the horrific massacre,” Hamas said in a statement in response to Israel.
The Gaza Health Ministry said at least 289 others were injured in the attack – one of the war’s deadliest – and that many dead and injured were taken to overwhelmed Nasser Hospital nearby.
“A number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them,” the Health Ministry said.
Footage of the aftermath showed a huge crater, charred tents, burnt-out cars and household belongings scattered across the blackened earth.
