Israel says it hit a Hamas command centre in al-Mawasi, though Palestinian survivors tell MEE there were no fighters in the area

Israeli air strikes on a so-called “humanitarian zone” in southern Gaza’s al-Mawasi killed at least 40 people on Tuesday, according to health authorities in the enclave.

The strikes targeted at least 20 tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the coastal area near the city of Khan Younis.

Eyewitnesses told AFP that at least five rockets fell in the area, with emergency services saying the strikes created craters up to nine metres deep.

    In fitting behavior, I could ask for evidence those Hamas military figures were elsewhere. However, I’m confident subsequent reviews of this event and others like it will uncover the truth, and perhaps we’ll get another extensive report on the matter (did you read my link?).

    I think we both know that lies travel faster than evidence, don’t we?

    Don’t really care about the reply, I got what I wanted.

        Sorry I thought you read your article:

        The military alleged that the strike targeted Hamas leaders, including Samer Ismail Hader Abudaqa, whom they identified as the head of the Palestinian movement’s aerial unit; Osama Tabash, who it called the head of surveillance and targets in Hamas’s intelligence division; and Ayman Mabhouh, another senior official.

        Won’t be continuing this conversation, especially if this is the level of discussion I should expect.

          https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-cia-award-for-excellence-in-journalism

          The CIA Award for Excellence in Journalism is a tongue-in-cheek name and slang expression for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) allegedly killing off journalists who uncover too much public-sensitive information. Referencing the suspicious suicide of investigative journalist Gary Webb and the murder of activist Fred Hampton, the joke and catchphrase achieved prominence online following a viral 2020 tweet.

          I think this is an unjust indictment of the mods, and unproductive.

        Yea I was addressing content directly discussed in the article. I was replied to with things unrelated to Hamas’ military use of civilian infrastructure, in an effort to derail conversation on the matter.

        Also you don’t know what whataboutism is, clearly.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

            Whataboutism or whataboutery is a pejorative for the strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of a defense against the original accusation.

            I bring up information relevant to the article. I’m responded to with a counter accusation instead of a rebuttal of the provided evidence. I won’t be replying to you anymore, this is a waste of my time.
