According to sources at Nasser Medical Complex cited by Al Jazeera, the killing occurred outside the Israeli military’s declared deployment areas in the south of the enclave.
Al-Mawasi, near the city of Khan Younis, hosts a vast displacement camp where tens of thousands of Palestinians are forced to live in dire and overcrowded conditions.
Despite repeated deadly strikes in and around the area, the Israeli regime has described al-Mawasi as a “humanitarian safe zone“.
More broadly, Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed at least 71,769 people and wounded 171,483 since October 2023.
