In a statement, the Israeli military admitted that it carried out an air attack on that particular area and it’s looking into what it describes as collateral damage.
It left hundreds of Palestinians displaced in that area with a shattered sense of safety and security. They were targeted, killed and maimed in a particular area that they were told to evacuate to.
The military did not stop right there; it went on and carried more attacks. Just a couple of hours ago it destroyed the only telecom division that feeds Deir el-Balah city with communication and internet connection. More air strikes in Nuseirat area as well as in eastern part of Khan Younis also reported.
