News - Middle East: Israeli airstrikes on places designated to be “safe” for the displaced have once again killed Palestinians in the Gaza Strip’s southern and central areas, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

The ministry said in a statement the regime’s forces killed at least 17 people in an attack on an area of tents housing displaced families in Khan Younis.

The attack on the Attar area of the Mawasi refugee camp in Khan Younis also wounded more than two dozen people.

Four members of a family, including two children, were also killed in Khan Younis.

In the historic Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, the regime’s forces bombed a school housing displaced Palestinians, killing at least 23 people, the ministry said.

The airstrike hit the al-Razi School — run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees UNRWA. At least 73 people were wounded, according to the ministry figures.

The school shelters displaced Palestinians.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas said in a statement that journalist Mohammed Mishmish and his son Baraa “ascended to martyrdom in the Nusseirat massacre today.”

Mishmish’s martyrdom has brought the total number of journalists killed in the territory since October 7, 2023 to 160, according to the statement.

Later in the day, five more Palestinians were killed in an attack on a house in Rafah in the far south.

The areas that came under attack by the regime’s forces on Tuesday are located within the “humanitarian safe zone,” where Israel has told Palestinians to seek refuge amid its barbarous campaign in Gaza.

Gaza health authorities said in their latest update on Tuesday that Israel had killed at least 38,710 people across the territory since early October.
