The death toll in the Israeli strike on Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza on Sunday has risen to 70 Palestinians killed, Palestinian health ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra said.

He condemned the attacks as a “massacre” and added that the death toll is likely to climb.

Israel’s military spokesperson’s office said that it is looking into the attack while Hamas issued a statement calling the attack “a horrific massacre” and a “new war crime.”
