Three bombs dropped by Israeli warplanes on displaced people’s tents in southern Gaza have left three enormous craters, sparking questions about the use of such massive munitions in a densely populated area.
The bombing in al-Mawasi on Tuesday killed at least 19 people with 22 others missing, presumed dead. Israel claimed the strikes targeted Hamas militants, while Palestinians and aid groups denounced the attack as a war crime.
Israel used US-made MK-84 bombs, typically sparingly used due to their intensity, against the encampment. The aftermath saw extensive damage and casualties, with people describing the destruction as far beyond what the tents could withstand.
The MK-84 bombs caused widespread devastation, with a range of over 365 meters. Isreal’s frequent use of these munitions raised concerns over civilian casualties and war crime accusations.
An estimated 120 people were in the encampment when the bombs hit, highlighting the overcrowding and desperation for safety in the designated “safe zone.”
Despite previous attacks, displaced individuals sought refuge in al-Mawasi due to perceived safety. However, the repeated strikes have shattered these hopes of security, leaving many with no alternative but to remain in the perilous location.
