Israeli airstrikes kill at least 130 in Gaza, say medics

It’s been another night of bombardment in the Gaza Strip. Israel says its new offensive is meant to ramp up pressure on Hamas to agree to a ceasefire.

Indirect ceasefire talks may be underway, but in Gaza the last week of military strikes by Israel have killed at least 460 Palestinians.

Last night and this morning air strikes from north to south killed 130 people, according to local hospitals and medics.

At least 40 people died in the southern Al-Mawasi area, where bombs hit the tented encampments.

In the north, health officials said that an Israeli military siege of the last functioning public hospital, the Indonesian hospital, had forced it to shut down.

Warning, there are distressing images from the start of this report.
