The operations director of Hamas’s Civil Defence authority has said at least forty people have been killed in southern Gaza and dozens more injured in Israeli.
The Israeli military says that its aircraft attacked an operations centre in Khan Younis belonging to Hamas fighters, and that it has taken steps to mitigate risk of harming civilians.
An Israel Defense Forces spokesperson says the military attacked significant Hamas terrorists who were operating within a command and control center inside the Humanitarian Area in Khan Yunis.
Meanwhile Hamas have rejected the Israeli military’s claims that there were Hamas fighters present in the area.
