Analysis of aerial photos and social media posts confirms attack on road identified as safe by Israeli army
A convoy of vehicles carrying fleeing civilians in Gaza that was hit by a deadly airstrike was travelling on one of the two roads identified as “safe routes” to the southern half of the strip by the Israeli army, according to analysis.
The Friday afternoon bombing in Gaza City, which killed a reported 70 people including children and which Hamas blamed on Israel, occurred on Salah-al-Din Road, a main thoroughfare in the overcrowded enclave, home to a trapped population of 2.3 million people.
