An airstrike hit a building near Gaza’s Al-Quds hospital on 18 October, a day after an explosion at another hospital in the Strip killed an estimated 500 people
Israel has claimed to have struck “over a hundred targets” in the Gaza Strip overnight, including tunnels, munitions warehouses and Hamas’ headquarters, as the United Nations warned that military escalation in the enclave would be “catastrophic”.
Footage posted by the Israeli Air Force showed a building in Gaza being destroyed by a missile released by one of its fighter jets.
They said they had bombed a mosque in the north of the enclave that was being used as a “gathering ground for terrorists” associated with Hamas.
It comes as the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said at least 10 percent of the hostages taken by Hamas are children, while between 10 and 20 of them are over the age of 60. Roughly 200 Israelis are being held by Hamas.
The IDF said the majority of the hostages are still alive but that Hamas had also taken dead bodies into the Strop following their incursion into Israel on 7 October.
