At least seven Palestinians killed in air strike in designated 'safe zone'

At least seven Palestinian civilians have been killed and several others injured on Monday when an Israeli drone strike targeted a tent sheltering displaced people west of Khan Younis, according to a report by Wafa news agency.

The tent was in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis, which has been designated as a "safe zone" for Palestinians displaced by Israel.

Al-Mawasi is a 10-mile strip of farmland that stretches along the Mediterranean coast, with dunes and a beach close to the sea. It was first designated as a “safe zone” by the Israeli military in early December.

Wafa also reported that Israeli attacks have killed at least 51 Palestinians on Monday.
