Palestinian health officials say Israeli warplanes struck a refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing at least 40 people and wounding dozens. Sunday’s strike came as Israel vowed to press on with its offensive to crush the territory’s Hamas rulers, despite U.S. appeals for a pause in fighting to get aid to civilians.
Arafat Abu Mashaia, who lives in the camp, said the Israeli airstrike flattened several multi-story homes where people forced out of other parts of Gaza were sheltering.
“It was a true massacre,” he said early Sunday while standing on the wreckage of destroyed homes. “All here are peaceful people. I challenge anyone who says there were resistance (fighters) here.”
And people still think Israel didn’t bomb a hospital.
An Associated Press reporter at a nearby hospital saw eight dead children, including a baby, who were brought in after the strike. A surviving child was led down the corridor, her clothes caked in dust, an expression of shock on her face.
In before IDF defenders claim the numbers are lies.

But does she condemn Hamas?
Even if the numbers are hypothetically inflated, when your argument is based upon an acceptable level of dead children you really don’t have much of a leg to stand on.
Another airstrike hit a house near a school at the Bureji refugee camp in central Gaza on Sunday and staff at Al-Aqsa Hospital told the AP at least 13 people were killed
Does anyone know how many air strikes against refugee camps this makes now? Is it 4 or 5?
I think israel bombed jabalya refugee camp four times already. And that’s just one refugee camp
FYI, It’s not a refugee camp. It’s an area that is historically called Jabalya Refugee Camp. I’m not defending or saying what’s right or wrong, it’s just best for everyone to evaluate this mess with accurate info whenever possible
Maybe you should call up the Associated Press and have them correct the title. Would you call what happened to those people murder?
The refuge camp you refer to was created in 1948. It no longer functions as a refugee camp. You are a disinformer.
Interesting observation that this refugee camp has been a more or less permanent home for its inhabitants since 1948. It might be interesting to think about where those refugees came from, why they had to flee their homes, and what has prevented them from returning for 75 years.
You are welcome to blame colonial powers for setting up this situation from the remains of the Ottoman Empire but it is also worth going into why Israelis have been driven out of the rest of the world into Israel and the multiple wars conducted against them by powers claiming they have no right to exist. Those same claims are continued by Hamas and Iran and used to justify starting this current war. The same borders that instituted Israel also initially instituted Palestine until they conducted a war against them. That war was what caused these borders at question with the refugee camp.
It absolutely is worth looking into the history behind it.
Your comment does not address the fact that the above was disinformation. Not misinformation, but disinformation as it is intentionally misleading.
This is bitterness, vengeance and spite by people who feel entitled to behave like those that oppressed them generations ago.
The US government loves to be told no.
It’s their naughty little kink and Israel knows how to do it just right.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Gaza’s Health Ministry said more than 9,700 Palestinians have been killed in the territory in nearly a month of war, and that number is likely to rise as Israeli troops advance into dense, urban neighborhoods.
Another airstrike hit a house near a school at the Bureji refugee camp in central Gaza on Sunday and staff at Al-Aqsa Hospital told the AP at least 13 people were killed.
Blinken met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, a day after talks with Arab foreign ministers in neighboring Jordan.
Earlier in his tour, Blinken met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who on Sunday reiterated while visiting an air force base that “there will be no ceasefire without the return of our abductees.” He added: “We will just continue until we beat them, we have no alternative.”
But Blinken said that “would simply leave Hamas in place, able to regroup and repeat what it did on Oct. 7,” when the group launched a wide-ranging attack from Gaza into southern Israel, triggering the war.
Thousands of Israelis protested outside Netanyahu’s official residence in Jerusalem on Saturday, urging him to resign and calling for the return of roughly 240 hostages held by Hamas.
