Satellite images show Israeli forces intensifying demolitions in south Gaza

Satellite images show that the Israeli military has stepped up the destruction of homes and agricultural lands in the al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza.

The images, taken between December 9 and January 1, show widespread demolition of buildings and structures and bulldozing of land and greenhouses in the area, which is located the Tal as-Sultan neighborhood, west of the city of Rafah.

#Palestine / Israeli Airstrike Kills at Least 20 in Gaza's Humanitarian Zone

An Israeli airstrike hit a densely populated tent encampment in #Gaza's Al-Mawasi area, a designated humanitarian zone, killing at least 20 people and wounding several others.

The incident occurred in an area repeatedly struck despite its designation as safer for civilians and despite the lack of adequate resources within the zone. The reported death toll could not be independently verified.

Palestinian sources report widespread destruction and describe the scene as a "fireball."

#Israel claims the strike targeted #Hamas militants, citing secondary explosions as evidence of weaponry in the area, while acknowledging efforts to mitigate civilian harm.

⟦ Dalal, madre di dieci figli che vive in una tenda nella zona umanitaria di #AlMawasi, vicino alla città meridionale di Gaza, #KhanYunis, fa del suo meglio per riparare i suoi figli dalla pioggia battente.

Tutto è essenziale per lei, dalla tenda impermeabile alle scarpe per i suoi figli.
La famiglia cammina a piedi nudi sotto la pioggia fredda, mentre il fango si sparge intorno a loro.
“Non riusciamo a procurarci nulla”, dice in lacrime.

“Non abbiamo soldi per comprare le scarpe. Cerco di improvvisare con qualche tessuto, oppure condividiamo la stessa scarpa per diversi giorni nella speranza che la pioggia non duri a lungo”. ⬇️2

Survivors say Israel’s attack on al-Mawasi felt like an earthquake

“We were sitting about a kilometre from the bombing site. We were sleeping when five missiles rained down like a fire belt.”
“Afterward, the tents looked like they had been hit by an earthquake. The ground was turned upside down.”

“Everything fell on top of us. Our children were buried in the sand. We ran out screaming and we could only see their heads buried beneath the sand.”

First-person account of surviving Israel’s bombing of al-Mawasi in Gaza

"I saw two colours – red and grey. Everything turned grey [from the dust] and there were red flames everywhere.

The sky was filled with screams, crying and the sound of ambulances.

I avoided looking at the injured. I try to treat my mind like a recorder and I’m trying not to record anything bad."

"The use of heavy weapons in densely populated areas is unconscionable. Palestinians had moved to this area in Khan Younis in search for shelter, in search of safety, after being repeatedly instructed to do so by the Israeli authorities themselves.”
Stephane Dujarric, a spokesperson for UN secretary general Antonio Guterres.

These "heavy weapons" are the 500 and 2000 lb bombs supplied by Biden's US.

A new investigation by Al Jazeera’s Sanad agency has shown that the Israeli air strike targeting civilians in Gaza’s humanitarian zone was carried out using MK-84 bombs, which weigh 2,000 pounds.

The Israeli bombing caused widespread damage to the tents, homes, and facilities in the area with craters 10 to 15 metres deep, burying dozens of tents.
