The Israeli military admitted on the 28th that the two air strikes carried out on Maigazi in the central Gaza Strip caused civilians**, saying that it would learn a lesson to avoid such a situation from happening again.
This is the first time that the Israeli army has acknowledged that its military operations have resulted in civilians in the Gaza Strip since Israel's large-scale assault on the Gaza Strip following a surprise attack by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in early October**.
Health authorities in the Gaza Strip have identified Israeli airstrikes on refugees in Maigazi on the 24th of this month, killing dozens of people, including a large number of women and children. After the incident, the Israeli army promised to investigate.
The Israeli army issued a statement on the 28th, admitting that when the air strikes on Hamas targets, "other buildings near the targets were also hit, which may cause accidental harm to other unrelated civilians."
The statement said that the Israeli army had taken measures to mitigate the damage to civilians as it advanced its military operations, and that it "regretted the harm caused to unrelated individuals by the airstrikes and would try to learn from the incident."
Israel, citing an Israeli military member, reported that the misselection, i.e., the mismatch between the type of munitions used and the nature of the attack, was the main cause of widespread destruction and a large number of civilian deaths.
The Maigazi refugee camp was built in 1949. According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, the camp is densely populated and has an area of 06 square kilometers, 3 before the outbreak of the conflict30,000 people.
According to the statistics of the health department of the Gaza Strip, since the outbreak of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Israeli army's strike has caused more than 210,000 people died, mostly women and children. (END) (Jiang Guopeng).
