Eyewitness video provided to an NBC News team in Gaza showed the moments after Israeli tanks and helicopters had targeted a warehouse in the supposed 'safe zone' of Al-Mawasi near Rafah.
The cuts on her feet from a strike she survived two weeks earlier had yet to heal, Asma Al-Sarafendi said, before more shrapnel embedded itself into the flesh of her leg during a strike this week on a designated humanitarian zone in southern Gaza. The Wednesday strike on Al-Mawasi began just after midnight, Al-Sarafendi said, as she was sleeping with her husband and five children — Mouna, Shorouq, Layla, Asaad and Mhamad.
According to The Associated Press, the locations of the blasts provided by the Civil Defense in Gaza and the Red Cross hospital appear to be just outside Al-Mawasi’s designated humanitarian zone. Witnesses interviewed by NBC News’ crew in Gaza after the attack on Wednesday said shots were fired from an aircraft into the camp between 12:30 a.m and 1:00 a.m. Then, about five minutes later, came a missile or bomb, which sent shrapnel scattering and ignited fires in the camp.
