There was little shelter and barely any services in al-Mawasi when the Abu Hatab family arrived seeking sanctuary from the intensifying bombardment around their homes in Khan Yunis.
But al-Mawasi was the one place they had been told they would be safe. From early November Israel urged the civilian population of Gaza evacuate to the narrow, sandy coastal strip the size of Heathrow airport.
On Wednesday night, the bombardment followed them to the so-called safe zone, when shelling rained down on their flimsy tents as they slept.
“They dropped leaflets and told us to come here, that this was truly the one safe place,” Bahaa Abu Hatab, one of the survivors said. “My brother took his children to protect them from the occupation’s missiles, but here they were martyred anyway, in this ‘safe’ place, in the tent that my brother set up in this field.”
At least 14 Palestinians, including nine children, were killed in strikes on al-Mawasi early on Thursday, according to the Hamas-run ministry of health in Gaza.

Either one of two things will come out of this
The world becomes even more frustrated with Israel and it’s genocidal war
Or the world becomes ever more numb and indifferent to something so blatant that it no longer matters.
This war isn’t being continued by an aggressor … it continues by our collective indifference and ignorance.
We need to hold our leaders accountable to all this … if they aren’t speaking out to end the violence, then they are condoning it all in our name.
This is why I’m angry and pissed at my gvmt too.
They were very active and loud on social media the days after Oct 7th. But, as the months went by and the current situation has exceeded every form of “self-defense” not a single gvmt soul has spoken up. Bare in mind, we’re talking about people who portray themselves as human-rights supporters.
I used to raise my voice against far-rights and corrupt politicians. Now, I’m at the point where I just don’t give a fuck about this country anymore, and their political outcome.
Only when you look at a tiny piece of the whole story in isolation can Israel try to justify their actions. Look at any time period of greater than 6-12 months and the picture is never any different than Apartheid and Nazi party propaganda. I cannot believe that the rest of the world, barring South Africa is making a serious challenge.
Even a story at isolation you can’t justify.

That’s what the Germans told the Jews when they herded them into trains too.
Again, Israel shows that it’s mission is not just to destroy Hamas. They are out to depopulate Gaza by whatever means.
If Hamas had not taken hostages, the IDF would have bombed that strip of land to kingdom come without mercy or regret weeks ago.
Isn’t it already inhabitable? I am also afraid that a lot of people got their homes completely destroyed so there would be no shelter once all this ordeal finishes.
And in their post-war plan they pointed out that the US and EU need to rebuild what they destroyed.
I find this extremely outrageous, as they are refusing to take responsibility for their own actions and instead are suggesting that the international community needs to rebuild it.

Why are so many comments in lemmy.world being removed by moderators recently?
any verification to this? sounds hard to believe. that would be a very bad strategic move from idf, so why would they do it
They have been bombing tent camps since October. Why would they do it? Because they literally don’t care, they wear Antisemitism as a shield.
