At least 40 Palestinians have been killed across Gaza in Israeli attacks, including a drone strike on people sitting at a café in the al-Mawasi area in the south of the territory which was previously designated a “safe zone” by Israel’s military.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza said that at least 10 civilians were killed late on Monday in a double missile strike by an Israeli drone on the small tent café, located to the west of Khan Younis in the south of the war-torn enclave.

“This is more proof that the Israeli claims about ‘evacuation zones’ and ‘safe areas’ are nothing more than false narratives,” Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud said, reporting from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza.

“People go to this coffee shop to connect to the internet and the outside world or to watch a football game on the big screen. A drone fired at least two missiles at the café while people were inside. A witness said it was packed,” Mahmoud said.

“Victims who arrived at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis for treatment were completely disfigured,” he said, adding that seven people injured in the strike were undergoing surgery.
