    “refugee camp” is the designation of several cities in Gaza. This was a city of 50k people pre-evac. It’s not a bunch of tents.

        . You asked why it matters and it matters because this statement is 100% incorrect.

        Point A.) They acknowledged it was a known refugee camp. A known collection of civilians gathering after being displaced. They knew these people were there.

        It is not a current refugee camp. It is in the North, where they told people to evacuate from. It is not a “collection of civilians gathering” - the city is mostly abandoned. These aren’t even the first bombs dropped there, by a long shot

        This sort of misunderstanding lets people bring this up as if Israel is currently bombing refugees, which is a significant lie.
