More than 100 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip over a 24-hour period, the Hamas-run health ministry says.

It does not offer details on those killed, and does not as a rule differentiate between combatants and civilians in reporting deaths.

Israel says it only targets terror operatives, while acknowledging that civilian casualties are unavoidable as Hamas and other terror groups operate from within densely populated areas.
