Israeli air strikes killed nearly 300 Palestinians including three-month-old twins.
GAZA: The Gaza Strip has suffered its deadliest day in 15 years in the wake of the unprecedented attack by Hamas into Israel, with Israeli air strikes killing nearly 300 Palestinians in 24 hours, according to Palestinian officials.
Israel’s main military spokesman called the attack by Hamas fighters, who killed at least 700 Israelis and abducted dozens, as “the worst massacre of innocent civilians in Israel’s history” and the response has been correspondingly harsh. Israeli air strikes on Gaza began soon after the Hamas attack and continued overnight and into Sunday, destroying the group’s offices and training camps, along with houses and other buildings.
In Rafah city, adjacent to the Egyptian border, an Israeli air strike killed 12 members of the Abu Qouta family, relatives said. Seven other family members were believed to be under the rubble, they added. UNRWA, the UN agency that provides essential services to Palestinians, said at least 20,000 Palestinians were taking shelter at 44 of the schools it operates in the Gaza Strip.
