21 People Killed as Israel Bombs Mosque in Deir Al Balah

More than 21 people were killed in a military Israeli airstrike targeting a mosque-turned-shelter for displaced Palestinians in Deir Al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, early Sunday morning.

The news is trending on the social media with images and videoclips of the state of the devastation and which is seen as another massacre, another bloodbath.

Local sources reported that it took paramedics and civil defense crews close to three hours to remove the bodies because of the sheer level of damage and the scale of devastation that was caused, with many saying there are still bodies underground.

The targeted mosque is located across the street from Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital and was hit by the Israeli military at about 2am local time when many were fast asleep.

Israeli warplanes dropped bombs and severely damaged the facility and the properties in the surrounding area, including many department stores on the main road.
