CNN —At least 71 Palestinians have been reported killed in an Israeli strike on a displacement camp in southern Gaza which Israel said targeted Hamas’ military chief, who was an alleged mastermind of the October 7 attacks.
“I cannot describe to you the magnitude of the tragedy,” one resident told CNN.
Mohammed Deif – the leader of Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing – was the figure targeted, an Israeli security official told CNN.
Palestinians gather near damage caused by an Israeli strike at a tent camp in Al-Mawasi area on Saturday.
A 2014 Israel strike killed his wife, seven-month-old son and three-year-old daughter.
