Israel bombs Gaza 'humanitarian zone', killing at least seven

Israel bombed tents in Gaza’s al-Mawasi “humanitarian zone”, killing at least seven people overnight, the Wafa news agency reported.

Tents were reportedly set ablaze following the strikes in what the Palestinian agency called a “massacre”.

Wafa added that Israeli forces also bombed tents near Khan Younis, southern Gaza, and homes in the Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza.

Additionally, Axios says the White House cancelled a high-level US-Israel meeting on Iran that was scheduled for Thursday after Netanyahu’s video slamming the Biden administration for allegedly withholding weapons.

“This decision makes it clear that there are consequences for pulling such stunts,” one US official said.
