- Israeli airstrike killed 71, injured 290
- Strike targeted tents of fleeing refugees
- Hospital overwhelmed, unable to function
An Israeli airstrike has hit the mastermind behind the 7 October incident, which killed hundreds, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
According to authorities in the besieged enclave, at least 71 people were killed, and 290 were injured in the strike on the southern city of Khan Younis, which is alleged to have targeted tents held by refugees fleeing the violence.
The local hospital has stated that it is overloaded and “no longer able to function” due to the high number of injuries.
The terrorist organization that governs the Palestinian territories has branded the strike as “a grave escalation” and proof that Israel was not interested in a cease-fire.
It was unclear whether Hamas‘ military chief, Mohammed Deif, was murdered, as was another senior militant leader, Rafa Salama.
Deif was the covert commander behind Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel in October, which sparked the disastrous war in Gaza.
Insurgents assaulted southern Israel, killing 1,200 persons, primarily civilians, and kidnapping approximately 250 captives.

Israel responded by conducting an offensive in Gaza, killing more than 38,300 people, according to the territory’s health ministry.
It makes no distinction between combatants and civilians in its count.
The majority of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents have sought refuge in tent camps in central and southern Gaza.
Israeli restrictions, violence, and a collapse in law and order have impeded humanitarian relief attempts, resulting in widespread hunger and raising worries of famine.
The top United Nations court has ordered Israel to take action to protect Palestinians while it investigates charges of genocide against Israeli officials. Israel disputes the charges.
