Israel Strikes Gaza Refugee Camp

“An Israeli strike targeting a Hamas commander in the densely populated Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza has left catastrophic damage and killed a large number of people, according to eyewitnesses and medics in the enclave,” CNN reports.

Lt. Col. Richard Hecht of the Israel Defense Forces said the airstrike was targeting a Hamas commander, whom he accused of “hiding, as they do, behind civilians.”
