More than 100 Palestinians have been killed and 150 wounded in Israeli airstrikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, Al Arabiya reported on Tuesday, citing the health ministry.
Israel bombed the refugee camp with 6 shells, each one weighing a ton of explosives, according to Gaza’s interior ministry.
The combined toll of those killed and injured in the airstrikes has been updated to a total of 400.
AFP video footage from the scene showed at least 47 bodies recovered from the rubble after the strike hit several houses in the camp.
Dozens of onlookers could be seen standing on the edges of two vast craters as people searched for survivors.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the strikes when contacted by AFP.
Earlier Tuesday, the health ministry said 8,525 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel launched its bombing campaign on October 7.
The war erupted after Hamas militants from Gaza launched attacks on Israeli communities and army posts, killing around 1,400 people, according to Israeli officials.
