Israeli forces launched deadly attacks up and down the Gaza Strip, hitting a refugee camp in the north, a hospital in the south and killing a teenage girl who had lost her leg in an earlier strike, according to Palestinian officials, media and eyewitnesses.
Israeli strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza killed 90 Palestinians yesterday, Gaza’s health ministry spokesman told Reuters.
Another missile attack on a house belonging to the Shehab family killed 24 people, Hamas Aqsa radio said.
The son of Dawoud Shehab, spokesman of Islamic Jihad, was among the dead, an official from the group told Reuters.
A medic said dozens of people had been killed or wounded in the Shehab family home and nearby buildings.
“We believe the number of dead people under the rubble is huge but there is no way to remove the rubble and recover them because of the intensity of Israeli fire,” he said by telephone.
