Dozens of Palestinians have been killed by fresh Israeli strikes in Gaza as international outrage over Israel’s killing of 15 medics grows.
The Israeli military has killed at least 46 Palestinians over the past 24 hours, according to Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza.
Five people died and more than 20 others were injured when Israeli warplanes bombed tents sheltering displaced people in the supposed humanitarian zone of Al-Mawasi, near Khan Younis, according to Palestinian news agency WAFA.
As of Saturday, the death toll since Israel collapsed the ceasefire on 18 March was 1,309, according to the Gaza health ministry.
The continuing bombardment comes as new evidence contradicts Israel’s account of the killing of 15 emergency workers in Rafah last month.
Video footage published on Saturday showed Israeli soldiers firing on a clearly marked convoy of ambulances and emergency vehicles, disproving Israel’s claim that its troops had targeted the vehicles because they approached “without headlights” or “flashing lights”.
The attack on medics has been condemned as a war crime and a grave violation of international law.
