"The Jews called us and told us to go to the Mawasi area of Khan Younis and that it is a safe area. I swear there is no safety. There is not in all of Gaza. There is no safety. Safety is with God. If God takes us all then we will be able to relax. The safest area is with God. "

5. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mahmoud Abu Yassin, displaced from Gaza, who lost his son in an Israeli airstrike:
"I heard the first hit, and my son came screaming, “daddy, daddy,” and took cover with me, and my daughter was next to me, (I said) “don’t be afraid,” and I hugged her. The second hit, I hugged them both together. The third hit, we did not know where we were. I woke up and found myself in the hospital. My son was martyred immediately. His blood came on my neck and clothes, thank God."

8. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mahmoud Abu Yassin, displaced from Gaza, who lost his son in an Israeli airstrike:
"We came to Mawasi, Khan Younis, based on their order that is a safe area, a green area. We were displaced to it from Rafah. I went from Gaza, to Nuseirat, to Bureij, to Maghazi to Gaza and came to Khan Younis, then Rafah, and we returned again to Mawasi, Khan Younis. Where do we go? This is Khan Younis, and if we go to Deir al-Balah, it is possible that they will bomb someone near us for any reason, whether it is a lie or not. No one prevents the Jews from doing anything. "

11. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Abu Khalid, displaced from Jabaliya:
"We were displaced three times. Every time we moved to an area they called a safe area, there was bombing and they said, “leave.” Three times. Is displacement to a safe area a trap? I have come to consider the safe zone is a trap, and they say we are staying away from civilians. No, they are only targeting civilians."

STORYLINE:
Palestinians in the Israeli-designated safe zone in southern Gaza were restless following an attack on the coastal area that, according Gaza’s Health Ministry, killed at least 90 people.
Israel said the strike on Saturday targeted the shadowy leader of Hamas’ military wing, Mohammed Deif and second Hamas commander Rafa Salama.
Eye witnesses say there were several strikes.
Palestinians have been forced to make the decision to either flee over and over to escape the changing Israeli offensives in Gaza or to remain in place and face possible strikes.
"I swear there is no safety. There is not in all of Gaza," Aziza Ammar, a displaced woman who lost her son in the weekend airstrike, said.
Aziza said she and her family had moved to Muwasi, the Israeli-designated safe zone that stretches from northern Rafah to Khan Younis, because it was designated as a safe area.
She said she had been displaced four times during the war.
The strike was one of the deadliest since the start of the fighting in October.
Many Palestinians had fled to the coastal strip, sheltering mostly in tents with few basic services or supplies.
Much of the tented area was destroyed, with buildings nearby damaged and several vehicles charred.
