At least 330 killed by Israeli air strikes on Gaza
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says the death toll from the Israeli strike overnight has risen to “at least 330”.
The AFP news agency quotes the head of the ministry, Mohammed Zaqut, who says most of the dead are women and children.
He adds hundreds more are wounded, “dozens of them in critical condition”.
Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz says they will keep fighting in Gaza for “as long as the hostages are not returned and all our war aims are not achieved”.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu previously said the main aim of the war in Gaza was to “destroy” Hamas’s military strength, as well as getting the hostages back.
