Witnesses at the Khan Younis area have described chaotic scenes after the Israeli attack killed at least 40 people and wounded many more, reports Al Jazeera.
Attaf al-Shaar, who was displaced from the southern city of Rafah and present at the site of the attack, said the strike happened just after midnight and caused a fire.
“The people were buried in the sand. They were retrieved as body parts,” she told an Associated Press reporter.
Al-Mawasi has been crowded with Palestinians sleeping in tents since the Israeli army designated the coastal area a “safe zone” during its ground invasions of Khan Younis and nearby Rafah.
