Israeli army admits to Gaza strike after BBC Verify investigation
Published: 6/6/2025
The Israeli army admitted to a Gaza strike after a BBC Verify investigation revealed an undisclosed attack in the al-Mawasi area that killed one Palestinian and injured 30 others. The strike in southern Gaza came after 31 Palestinians died near a new aid distribution center in Rafah, leading to the identification of a separate incident in Khan Younis by BBC Verify. The IDF disclosed that the strike resulted from "technical and operational errors," firing towards a target that mistakenly hit the Mawasi area, where displaced Palestinians were sheltering.
