At least 29 Palestinians, including children, have been killed in an Israeli air strike on a multi-storey residential building in the east of Gaza City, a local hospital says.
The Hamas-run Civil Defence agency said warplanes targeted the area near al-Hawashi mosque in the Shejaiya neighbourhood on Tuesday morning.
It initially reported that 23 people were killed but warned its first responders were searching for two dozen others under the rubble. In the evening, it announced 15 bodies had been recovered, without giving an updated death toll.
The Israeli military said it had struck a "senior Hamas terrorist" who was responsible for planning and executing attacks in the area.
TVNL Comment: Lies and more lies. Israel takes down a residential building in a move to kill more civilians, and, as usual, claims they targeted a terrorist. More war crimes.
