At least 11 people, including children, have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, it has been reported.

The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that the strike hit a playground frequently visited by displaced children.

Most of those killed were children, the news agency reported with several people also wounded in the attack

One eyewitness described the situation as a “horrific scene of children torn apart”.

The latest data from Unicef said that one child in Gaza is killed or injured every 10 minutes and further said that at least 70 children are injured every day during the Israeli bombardment.

        Hamas had nothing to do with israel slaughtering these children.

        Unless we take the IDF suggestion that all these kids were “Hamas operatives”.

            Hamas has a 3% child casualty rate on October 7 (including all israeli friendly fire)

            Israel has a 40% child casualty rate since October 7

            It would be great if the Hamas child casualty was even lower but one of these is clearly not like the other.

              I in no way deny or defend the patently obvious genocide being committed by Israel.

              But I refuse to ignore the slaughter committed by HAMAS.

              Much like the IRA, a just cause does not justify any means. Omagh was wrong. The 7th of October was wrong. Murderes of innocents and children.

              Acknowledgement of that didn’t lessen the murder and brutality of the UK or Israel. State sanctioned oppression, murder and genocide.

              Both are wrong. Downvote away.

                  Only tankies defend crimes against innocent civilians based on them being citizens of a stronger country

                  All civilians deserve protection

                    Yeah last time I checked israelis are pretty well protected right now. Is Hamas currently doing a Genocidal invasion of israel or something? I think I missed that can you link it?
