The recent Israeli air strike on a designated humanitarian area in Gaza has left at least 90 Palestinians dead and around 300 injured, according to reports from the Hamas-run health ministry. The attack was said to have targeted senior Hamas leaders Mohammed Deif and Rafa Salama, although there is no certainty of their deaths.
The strike, which occurred in the al-Mawasi area near Khan Younis, was carried out by Israeli forces who claim the area was free of civilians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the operation, stating that he had given the order after being briefed by his security forces.
The incident has sparked outrage and condemnation from international communities, with calls for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of life. BBC News reporter Ben Brown provides more details on the tragic event, with analysis from Fergal Keane and Lucy Williamson.
