A strike Tuesday hit a displacement camp in southern
Gaza, killing at least 12 people including children, the
Hamas-run territory's health ministry said.
The ministry in a statement reported "12 martyrs including children in an air strike that hit a tent for displaced people" in the coastal Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Yunis city, reports AFP.
Contacted by AFP over the reported strike, the Israeli military said it was looking into it.
Al-Mawasi, on the besieged Gaza Strip's Mediterranean coast, is now home to thousands of Palestinians displaced by nearly six months of war who shelter in makeshift tents.
Many of them were displaced from the area of Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital, the territory's largest which has been targeted in an ongoing
Israeli raid since March 18.
