An Israeli air strike that hit central Gaza’s Maghazi refugee camp has killed 70 people, Palestinian health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra has said, adding the death toll is likely to climb.
“What is happening at the Maghazi camp is a massacre that is being committed on a crowded residential square,” Reuters quotes al-Qidra as saying.
The Israeli military said it was reviewing the incident.
“Despite the challenges posed by Hamas operating within civilian areas in Gaza, the IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) is committed to international law including taking feasible steps to minimize harm to civilians,” an Israeli army spokesperson said in a statement.
