Israel says it hit a Hamas command centre in al-Mawasi, though Palestinian survivors tell MEE there were no fighters in the area

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.

      Yea I was addressing content directly discussed in the article. I was replied to with things unrelated to Hamas’ military use of civilian infrastructure, in an effort to derail conversation on the matter.

          Whataboutism or whataboutery is a pejorative for the strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of a defense against the original accusation.

          I bring up information relevant to the article. I’m responded to with a counter accusation instead of a rebuttal of the provided evidence. I won’t be relying to you anymore, this is a waste of my time.

        https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-cia-award-for-excellence-in-journalism

        The CIA Award for Excellence in Journalism is a tongue-in-cheek name and slang expression for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) allegedly killing off journalists who uncover too much public-sensitive information. Referencing the suspicious suicide of investigative journalist Gary Webb and the murder of activist Fred Hampton, the joke and catchphrase achieved prominence online following a viral 2020 tweet.

        I think this is an unjust indictment of the mods, and unproductive.
