The Hamas government in Gaza said on Thursday that 195 people had been killed in Israeli strikes this week on Jabalia refugee camp, the biggest in the tiny Palestinian territory.
“The victims of the first and second massacres in Jabalia exceed 1,000” including “martyrs and wounded”, said a statement from the Hamas government press office, referring to strikes on Tuesday and Wednesday.
“We have recorded 195 martyrs, 120 missing under the rubble, and 777 wounded,” it said.
The Hamas-run health ministry says 8,796 people have died, mostly women and children, since Israel launched a massive ground and air assault following the October 7 Hamas attacks, which claimed 1,400 lives, mostly civilians.
