DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinian officials say an Israeli strike hit a crowded tent camp in Gaza, killing at least 19 people and wounding 60. Israel says it targeted senior Hamas militants. The strike early Tuesday occurred in Muwasi, a sprawl of camps along the coast that Israel designated as a humanitarian zone for hundreds of thousands of displaced civilians. Associated Press video showed three large craters. First responders dug with garden tools and bare hands, using mobile phone flashlights until the sun came up. Gaza’s Health Ministry says over 41,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war began.
