At least 20 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike that hit a popular seafront cafe frequently used by activists, journalists, and local residents in western Gaza City on Monday, according to medics and eyewitnesses.

Rescue teams evacuated 20 bodies and dozens wounded from Al-Baqa Cafeteria, an outdoor venue which consisted of tents along the beach, a spokesperson for Gaza's Hamas-run Civil Defence told the BBC.

He added that emergency crews were still searching through a deep crater left by the explosion.

The Israeli military later said it struck "several Hamas terrorists" in northern Gaza and that it was reviewing the incident.

1. A seafront cafe? In Gaza?

...I thought Gaza was basically reduced to rubble. What Israel is doing is simply a war crime in my book.

4. Absolutely

To Israel it’s hysterically called self defense

2. So our US policy is to allow Israel to attack Gaza and kill whatever remains there but not to touch Iranians???

genocide by the chosen people. Is there really a god?

5. If there is a God!

He lost interest in this mudball that he created and left a long time ago. Since then Man has recreated God in his own image and that "God" hates everything and everyone that his creators hate!

6. Just a bunch of terrorists enjoying lunch

They are wantonly bombing civilians then claiming they were Hamas. I have serious doubts this was a, "cafe," when there is no food to be had.

7. The IDF murders at will and then claims they were all Hamas terrorists.

The real terrorists are the IDF now.
