Israeli airstrikes slammed into tent shelters in al-Mawasi, a designated safe zone in Khan Younis, Gaza, early Saturday, killing at least 20 Palestinians since dawn.
Shocking video from the scene shows massive explosions ripping through a sprawling camp of white tents housing displaced families, with thick plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky.
The strikes targeted civilians in an area Israel itself had previously declared safe, highlighting the dire vulnerabilities faced by Gaza’s displaced population amid the ongoing conflict.
Al Jazeera and the Palestinian WAFA news agency corroborated the reports, citing 12 to 29 fatalities in similar attacks, including children.
This marks a brazen violation of the October 2025 ceasefire brokered under United States President Donald Trump, which has already frayed amid mutual accusations of breaches.
