Kathmandu: Gaza’s civil defence agency has said an Israeli strike on a mosque-turned-shelter in central Deir al-Balah killed 21 people.

However, Israel’s military said it had targeted Hamas militants on Sunday. ‘The number of deaths rose to 21 and a large number of wounded as a result of the occupation (Israel) bombing of a mosque sheltering displaced people in front of the gate of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip’ said agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal.

The Israeli military said in a statement that it had conducted a precise strike on Hamas terrorists who were operating within a command and control center at the mosque.
