Israeli military strikes killed at least 80 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip yesterday, local health authorities said.
Medics said most of the dead, including women and children, were killed in a barrage of Israeli air strikes on houses in the Jabaliya area of northern Gaza.
“Some victims are still on the road and under the rubble where rescue and civil emergency teams can’t reach (them),” the health ministry statement said.
Reuters television footage showed residents returning to the ruins of their homes. Some sifted through the remains of walls and furniture, looking for documents and belongings.
“They fired two rockets,” said Hadi Moqbel, who lost relatives in the attack in Jabaliya. “We came running, we saw body parts on the ground, children killed, the woman killed and a baby killed. He was two months old.”
