The Israeli military has claimed there is no evidence that it is responsible for Friday’s deadly attack on a tented camp in the al-Mawasi area of southern Gaza, which has killed 25 people and injured 50 more, Al Jazeera reports quoting the AFP news agency.

“An initial inquiry conducted suggests that there is no indication that a strike was carried out by the (Israeli military) in the humanitarian area in al-Mawasi. The incident is under review,” a military spokesman told AFP.

A statement published by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) described “high-calibre projectiles” landing “within metres” of its office in the encampment, which it said was surrounded by displaced Palestinians living in tents. The ICRC did not specify who it believed had fired on the camp.

One survivor of the attack told Al Jazeera that fire was “consuming” them “from every direction”.

“We had just eaten and were about to sleep and take some rest, and the next we knew was the sound of resounding explosions destroying our places. We find ourselves alone not knowing what to do. We still can’t process what happened,” the survivor said.
