A spokesperson for the Israel Occupation Forces (IOF) Lt. Col. Richard Hecht confirmed on Tuesday that the Jabalia camp in the Gaza Strip was targeted by the IOF.

He described civilian casualties as an unfortunate outcome of the "horrors of war."

"This is the tragedy of war," Hecht told a CNN correspondent when asked about civilian deaths in the refugee camp, adding that they told the killed civilians "to move south."

"So you decided to drop the bomb anyway," Wolf Blitzer, the CNN correspondent proceeded to comment.

"We’re doing everything we can to minimize civilian deaths," The IOF spokesman claimed with a straight face after they just murdered more than 100 civilians without blinking.

CNN's Wolf Blitzer: You knew that there were innocent civilians in that refugee camp, right?
