Gaza officials say the death toll from Israeli air strikes on a camp housing displaced Palestinians near Rafah in southern part of the strip has risen to 40.

“The massacre committed by the Israeli occupation army in the refugee tents northwest of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip has left 40 martyrs and 65 wounded,” Mohammad al-Mughayyir, a senior official at the civil defence agency, told AFP news agency.

The attack led to a massive fire, which Palestinian Civil Defence teams managed to extinguish after about 45 minutes.

“The air strikes burnt the tents, the tents are melting and the people’s bodies are also melting,” one of the residents who arrived at the Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah was reported as saying by the Reuters news agency.

Doctors without Borders, known by its acronym MSF, said “dozens of wounded” as well as more than 15 of the dead had been brought to a facility that it supports.

This isn't a credible news source.

Serious question: what, in your opinion, makes Aljazeera a non-credible news source? And what, in turn, do you consider examples of credible news sources on the subject?

Easy... Anything that criticizes Israel is non-credible, and everything else that excuses civilian deaths as "hamas hiding behind civilians" is credible.

Yeah, who would ever believe that Israel hit yet another refugee location?

Too lazy to see CNN, BBC, CBC all reporting the same? If you take the IDF's word alone maybe their acknowledgment of civilian deaths in the strike will suffice?

The BBC reported in it and in sure many others.

There is this new invention called search, you might want to give it a go, before condemning this news source because it has words you find scary in its name.
