Israeli army radio: Hamas military chief targeted in Mawasi strike

The Israeli Army Radio has said that the attack on Mawasi had targeted Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif. 

This has not yet been confirmed.

Senior Hamas official Abu Zahri dismissed the claims as "nonsense".

"All the martyrs are civilians and what happened was a grave escalation of the war of genocide, backed by the American support and world silence," Abu Zahri told Reuters, adding that the attack showed Israel was not interested in reaching a ceasefire agreement. 

Gaza's health ministry said in a statement that Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis received 20 bodies and 90 wounded.
