At least 40 people are reported to have been killed in attacks on the city of Gaza. The reports come after a day of several reported attacks on the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military, IDF, has attacked several targets in and around Gaza City, including sites in the established refugee camp of Shati. At least 42 people have been found dead after the attacks, according to Hamas-controlled Palestinian authorities.
IDF says that the air strikes on Gaza City were targeted at two military targets. One is said to be a high-ranking Hamas leader, but Israeli media reports are conflicting about what happened to him.
"Enormous civilian losses"
About 20 people are reported to have been killed in an attack on a tent camp near Rafah in southern Gaza on Friday evening. Dozens more deaths are reported after attacks on Gaza City in the north on Friday.
The Red Cross field hospital in Gaza, whose operations are coordinated and partially funded by the Norwegian Red Cross, received 22 dead and 45 injured after projectiles hit near the tent camp in Rafah, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on social media.
Once again, we have witnessed an attack that has caused enormous civilian losses, says the head of foreign operations at the Red Cross in Norway, Jørgen Haldorsen, to the news agency NTB.
This should be a relatively safe area, but no area in Gaza is safe.
According to the post, ICRC's facility was also damaged in the shelling. The organisation does not specify which actor was behind the attack.
"Shooting so close to humanitarian buildings risks the lives of civilians and aid workers", writes ICRC.
Her husband was killed
Eye-witnesses say that the Israeli attack on the tent camp occurred in two rounds.
We were in our tent when a bomb exploded near the Red Cross tent. My husband went out to see what had happened, says Mona Ashour, according to the news agency AP.
Then they struck again, she continues, crying.
Her husband was killed in the attack.
The Hamas-controlled health ministry in Gaza blames Israel for the shelling and reported earlier on Saturday that at least 120 people had been killed within two days. From the Israeli military's side, no involvement has been confirmed, but a spokesperson says the matter is "under investigation".
The Islamist extremist group Hamas attacked Israel on the morning of Saturday, 7 October last year. About 1,150 people are estimated to have fallen victim to the terrorist attack, most of them civilians, and more than 200 people were taken hostage.
Israel responded by declaring war. It has besieged Gaza, bombed the coastal strip continuously, and sent in ground forces with the stated aim of destroying Hamas.
According to Hamas-controlled authorities, more than 37,500 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since the outbreak of war. Large parts of the area's buildings have been levelled, and aid organisations are warning of severe famine.
More than 100 people are still being held hostage in Gaza, according to Israel, since about the same number were released in exchanges and a few more were rescued. Many of those still held are feared to no longer be alive.
