According to Palestinian information, more than 70 people died in an Israeli air strike on the Maghazi refugee camp, in the center of the Gaza Strip. According to AP, it could be one of the deadliest attacks since the start of the war in Gaza.
The number is likely to continue to rise, says a spokesman for the Hamas-run health authority. Additionally, numerous homes were damaged. An Israeli army spokesman said the alleged attack on the refugee camp was being investigated.
According to Hamas figures, the number of people killed in the Gaza Strip as a result of the fighting has recently risen to more than 20,400. Israel has killed around 8,000 Palestinian fighters in the Gaza Strip so far, according to a military spokesman. According to reports, the number comes from counts following targeted attacks and fighting on the ground, as well as from interrogations of prisoners.
