ISRAELI forces targeted a tent camp housing displaced people in southern Gaza on Wednesday, killing at least 21 people and wounding another 28.

The attack took place in the Muwasi area, a sprawling coastal camp housing hundreds of thousands of displaced people.

The director of the Nasser Hospital, Atif al-Hout, in the nearby city of Khan Younis reported at least 15 bodies arrived at the hospital but said that establishing a precise number of dead was difficult because many were dismembered, some without heads or badly burned.
