GAZA, Palestine
At least 10 Palestinians were killed as Israeli warplanes hit a bakery in the Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, the government media office in Gaza said on Wednesday.
"Israeli occupation aircraft bombed the Maghazi bakery last night, the only one that had been supplied with flour by UNRWA (UN agency for Palestinian refugees) just hours before," Salama Maarouf, head of the media office, said in a press release on Wednesday
The bakery "used to provide tens of thousands of the camp residents and the displaced people with bread," he further added.
The missile strikes “completely destroyed the bakery and left a large crater, in addition to damaging several surrounding homes in the middle of the camp, resulting in the death of 10 Palestinians and the injury of others."
