An Israeli strike on a Palestinian tent camp has resulted in the deaths of at least 19 people. The strike targeted a protest tent camp in the Gaza Strip, where Palestinians had gathered to demonstrate against Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The Gaza health ministry confirmed the death toll, and several others were injured in the attack. The Israeli military has said they targeted militants who were launching incendiary balloons into southern Israel from the camp.
The strike has been condemned by Palestinian officials, who have called for an international investigation into the incident. They have accused Israel of committing a war crime by targeting civilians in the tent camp.
Israeli officials have defended the strike, saying they were responding to a threat to their citizens by targeting militants in the camp. They have also accused Hamas, the militant group that controls the Gaza Strip, of using the camp as a cover for launching attacks on Israel.
The international community has expressed concern over the escalating violence in the region, with the United Nations calling for a de-escalation of tensions and a return to peace talks between the two sides.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been ongoing for decades and has resulted in the loss of thousands of lives on both sides. The latest strike on the Palestinian tent camp has only added to the tensions in the region, with both sides seemingly no closer to finding a peaceful resolution to their long-standing conflict.
