Hundreds killed or wounded as Israel bombs Gaza's Jabalia refugee camp
21 Sept 02:40Key points summarised by AI
Israeli air strikes on Gaza's Jabalia refugee camp killed or wounded hundreds of Palestinians, with local officials reporting approximately 400 casualties, primarily children and women.
The bombardment extensively damaged the camp, destroying an entire residential area known as Block 6, with video footage showing deep bomb craters and widespread devastation.
The Israeli military confirmed the strike, claiming it targeted a senior Hamas commander, and defended the civilian casualties as a tragic outcome of war, urging civilians to move south.
International reactions include Egypt condemning the 'inhumane targeting' and opening the Rafah crossing for wounded Palestinians, while Qatar warned that expanded strikes undermine de-escalation efforts.
