Palestinian authorities write down the death toll heavily after the overnight attack on a tent camp in Hamas-controlled Gaza. At least 19 people were killed, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
Initially, 40 casualties were reported in the attack, which according to Israel was directed at a Hamas target.
The testimonies are strongly divided after a bloody Israeli air attack on a tent camp in the Gaza Strip. Israel names individual profiled terrorists who are said to have been killed, while Palestinians speak of a large number of innocent victims.
According to a statement from the Hamas government, the different numbers are because the health ministry only counts bodies that have been taken to hospitals, while the civil defense also counts bodies that have yet to be retrieved.
