As the war between Israel and Hamas continued to rage, Hamas-run health ministry said that more than 30 people were killed in an Israeli attack on a camp in central Gaza late Saturday.
"More than 30 martyrs arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah in the massacre committed by the occupation in Al-Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip," the news agency AFP quoted health ministry spokesperson Ashraf Al-Qudra as saying.
Israel has vowed to "crush" Hamas for its October 7 attack on communities and military outposts near the Gaza border, which it says killed more than 1,400 people.
More than 240 Israeli and foreign hostages were also abducted during the cross-border surprise attack.
In Gaza, over 9,400 people, mostly women and children, have been reportedly killed in Israeli strikes.
