Over 70 Gazans reported killed in overnight strikes
Gaza’s pro-Hamas Quds News outlet reports that 71 people were killed in Israeli strikes across the Strip overnight, which would raise the death toll to over 540 since Israel resumed its military campaign in Gaza on Tuesday morning.
The news outlet reports that airstrikes took place around Khan Younis, Rafah and other parts of Gaza overnight.
The death toll cannot be verified, and figures from Hamas-controlled health authorities in the Strip have been questioned.
Israel says it is only targeting terrorists and terror infrastructure and blames Hamas and allied groups for collateral damage, saying they use civilians as human shields.
