Israel has hit Gaza’s largest refugee camp with renewed air strikes, prompting UN rights officials to warn that targeting densely populated residential areas could amount to war crimes.
According to the Hamas-run health ministry, Bombs struck the Jabalia camp for a second time in two days, pulverising buildings and killing dozens of people.
Newsmen witnessed extensive damage at the scene, with people frantically clawing through rubble to extract bloodied casualties. Israel said its fighter jets had carried out the strike, targeting a Hamas command and control complex and eliminating an undefined number of militants.
Rescuers said whole families had died, but casualty details could not be immediately confirmed.
