Israeli airstrikes reportedly killed at least 90 in a designated safe area in southern Gaza over the weekend, targeting and possibly killing Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif.The strike took place in a designated safe area in Al-Mawasi, a town on the western outskirts of the city of Khan Younis, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had sought refuge.
