Another attack leaves 22 dead, says Red Cross
It comes after the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said at least 22 people were killed in an attack that targeted civilians sheltering in southern Gaza on Friday.
The attack hit tents of displaced people in the Palestinian city of Mawasi — parts of the municipality have already been identified by the Israeli military as a humanitarian zone.
The IDF is reviewing the incident, but stressed that initial investigations found “no indication” that its military was responsible for the incident.
