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.

      Yeah no.

      You’ve made a conceited effort to downplay Israel’s war crimes and try to justify them.

      This isn’t about Hamas, or supporting them, it’s about not supporting genocidal states like Israel. Which is what your post was.

        Posting something critical of Hamas is not justification for anything, it’s just critical of Hamas. Baselessly accusing me of anything more is unfounded, telling, and confirms my previous concern.

        Goodbye.

        Edit: mods, is it perfectly acceptable for me to baselessly accuse other users of justifying Oct 7 when they post something critical of Israel? Or would that be uncivil?

          This is a news article about Israel slaughtering civilians.

          You come along and “whataboutHamas”, while ignoring Israel’s culpability for this entire thing.

          When pointed out they your entire twisted justification (human shields) is actually a tactic used frequently by Israel you complain.

          Ok, bye.
