Israel uses banned bomb in attack on a café in Gaza.
The Guardian newspaper reported that the Israeli occupation army used a 500-pound (227-kilogram) bomb in an attack on a coffee shop in the coastal Gaza Strip on Monday.
According to the report, the bomb is known as an unguided and unregulated weapon that creates a very powerful blast wave and its fragments are scattered over a wide area.
The Guardian quoted experts as saying that the large crater left at the site of the explosion indicates the use of a large and powerful bomb such as the MK-82.
International law experts also told the newspaper that the use of such munitions is likely illegal and could be considered a war crime.
Airstrike on a falafel stall in Gaza kills 7
On Wednesday evening, more than 7 Palestinians, including 3 children, were killed and several others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a gathering of civilians in front of a school in the Nussirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
According to local and medical sources, an Israeli drone struck people gathered near a falafel stall near Al-Awda Hospital when it suddenly struck them. Locals usually come to the stall at this time of night to prepare dinner. A large number of people were killed in the attack, and medical teams are still treating the injured with serious injuries.
Al Jazeera reported that the hospital grounds were covered in blood, food remains, and household items scattered among the rubble. Ambulances rushed to the scene to transport the injured as people screamed.
“We were on the main street in front of Al-Awda Hospital in the Nussirat camp, a place that is always full of patients, their companions, and journalists who come to cover the events,” Al Jazeera’s correspondent said in a live report from the scene.
