Deadly overnight attacks prove nothing safe about ‘safe zones’

Air strikes overnight targeted people inside their homes, killing and maiming more women and children, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Gaza City, northern Gaza.

“Two people were killed in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Seven others were left with severe injuries. All were brought to Al-Aqsa Hospital.

“Two more people — a man and a little girl — were reported killed in the al-Mawasi evacuation zone. Several others sustained severe wounds. Again, this is supposed to be a ‘safe zone’ for displaced people, according to the Israeli military.

“But there is nothing safe about them. There’s killing everywhere.”
