More and more indiscriminate murder by Israel – Mark

Israel’s military says it has killed the head of Hamas’s security forces in southern Gaza, Hussam Shahwah, as part of a series of air strikes in the enclave that killed at least 37 Palestinians.

The strike in Khan Younis hit an encampment sheltering displaced families, killing Shahwah and 10 others, according to local medics.

Gaza’s interior ministry, which is run by Hamas, claims the director general of Gaza’s police department, Mahmoud Salah, and his aide, Shahwan, were killed in the strike.

“By committing the crime of assassinating the director general of police in the Gaza Strip, the occupation is insisting on spreading chaos in the (enclave) and deepening the human suffering of citizens,” the interior ministry said in a statement.
