Al Mawasi Massacre
At least 40 Palestinians have been killed and 60 injured in terror group of Israel's airstrike that targeted tents of displaced people sheltering in the Al-Mawasi “safe zone” in Khan Yunis, yesterday, September 9, 2024.
Spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Gaza:
- Some families have completely disappeared in the Al-Mawasi massacre in Khan Yunis.
- The craters in the ground following the strikes are very deep and more than 20 tents have completely disappeared.
- The occupation targeted a humanitarian area in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Yunis without prior warning.
- Our crews do not have the necessary equipment to deal with the massacre.
- We are suffering a clear collapse in the Civil Defense apparatus and hospitals as a result of the aggression.
Once again, the IOF used American-provided MK-84 bombs, 2,000 bombs with 900 pounds of explosives, in the Mawasi Khan Younis massacre today. These are the same bombs used in the July 2024 Mawasi massacre, which resulted in over 70 martyrs.
The explosive ammunition makes up 45% of the bomb's total weight and can create a crater about 15 meters wide and over 10 meters deep. It causes deadly damage around it, with a radius of approximately 73 meters.
These same US weapons have been used in previous massacres including in Jabalia, Al-Maamadani Hospital massacre, and Al-Nusseirat market massacre where US assistance to IOF was directly involved. The United States has provided the zionist entity with 14,000 of these 2-ton bombs since October 7th.
