At least 11 people, including children, have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, it has been reported.

The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that the strike hit a playground frequently visited by displaced children.

Most of those killed were children, the news agency reported with several people also wounded in the attack

One eyewitness described the situation as a “horrific scene of children torn apart”.

The latest data from Unicef said that one child in Gaza is killed or injured every 10 minutes and further said that at least 70 children are injured every day during the Israeli bombardment.

    You are aware that Hamas has continued armed fighting, including firing rockets at civilians since October 7, right? Just because Oct. 7 was by far the worse, that doesn’t mean they laid down their arms and surrendered.

        I think Hamas should surrender and release the hostages. I don’t see another realistic way to end the war at this point.
