In a devastating turn of events, Israeli missiles struck a tent camp for displaced Palestinians in southern Gaza, killing over 40 people and injuring 60 more, according to the enclave's civil emergency service.

The camp, located in Al-Mawasi near Khan Younis, was designated a humanitarian safe zone but was targeted by Israeli forces due to alleged Hamas activities. Officials report that 20 tents caught fire, with craters as deep as nine meters created by the blasts.

Gaza's civil emergency services continue their search for victims, terming the attack as another 'massacre.' The Israeli military maintains the strikes targeted Hamas operatives, while Hamas denies any military presence in the area.
