Massacre of civilians in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip . The Palestinian Ministry of Health has released a dramatic toll, at least 90 dead and hundreds injured in the Al-Mawasi displaced persons camp, hit by an Israeli raid .

The statement updates the previous toll of around twenty deaths and speaks of a "terrible massacre of the Israeli occupation", we read in a note from Hamas.

Side effect: the Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis "is no longer able to function" because it is "overwhelmed" by the enormous number of wounded arriving after the Israeli raid, say health officials quoted by some international media.

According to the army of the Jewish State, the massive aerial bombardment was aimed at Muhammad Deif and Rafa Salameh, two military leaders of Hamas , who were «in a civilian compound fenced with trees, with a low structure and sheds, not displaced persons, placed so that terrorists could move safely." According to the IDF, the two leaders of the Palestinian military organization were "at least injured" , together with the Hamas agents who secured the area.

"Nonsense" , replies Hamas, according to which Deif, the organisation's military head, was not hit . «All the martyrs – he reports – are civilians and what happened is a serious escalation in the genocidal war, supported by the USA and the silence of the world». An attack, continues Hamas, which demonstrates how Israel does not want a ceasefire agreement.
