Israeli strike on tent camp in Gaza humanitarian zone kills at least 40 people, Palestinians say

Palestinian officials say an Israeli strike on a crowded tent camp housing Palestinians displaced by the war in Gaza has killed at least 40 people and wounded 60 others. Israel said it targeted “significant” Hamas militants, allegations denied by the militant group. Gaza's Civil Defense, first responders operating under the Hamas-run government, said it had recovered 40 bodies from the strike in a designated humanitarian zone known as Mawasi and was still looking for people. It said entire families had been killed as they huddled in tents. An Associated Press cameraman saw three large craters at the scene, where first responders and displaced people were sifting through the sand and rubble with garden tools and their bare hands by the light of mobile phones.
