The Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip says this morning’s airstrike in the al-Mawasi area, which according to the IDF targeted the chief of Hamas’s military wing and another top commander, killed 90 people.
A further 300 were wounded, the ministry says.
The IDF said that the casualties are most likely Hamas operatives, as the strike targeted a compound belonging to the terror group, where Muhammad Deif and Rafa’a Salameh were, along with dozens more members of the terror group.
