The Israeli military has confirmed to BBC Verify that it conducted an unacknowledged artillery strike on the al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza, resulting in one death and 30 injuries. This incident occurred shortly after 31 Palestinians were killed near a new aid distribution center in Rafah. The IDF stated the strike was due to “technical and operational errors,” but did not provide evidence, while BBC Verify debunked claims linking the strike to the aid center killings, emphasizing the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza amidst escalating violence.
