Health officials said earlier that six people had been killed in strikes on the cinder-block camp, which has housed Palestinian refugee families since 1948, with around 70 wounded, including three Palestinian journalists. "Over the past day, IDF fighter jets struck over 60 terror targets in the Gaza Strip, including underground launch posts, military infrastructure and sites in which armed terrorists operated," it said. "In parallel, IDF artillery struck terrorist infrastructure in the central Gaza Strip."
Meshaal, who lives in exile and heads Hamas' political office in the diaspora, spoke at an event in Doha, Qatar to mourn members of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's family killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza on Wednesday. The war began when Hamas led a lightning cross-border attack into southern Israel on Oct 7 in which 1,200 people were killed and 253 taken hostage. Around 130 are still being held incommunicado in Gaza, Israel says.
