Gaza's health ministry said there were dozens of Palestinians killed and wounded in Israeli air strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp, Monday, Oct. 9. Israel has declared war on Hamas militants after an attack on Israeli areas bordering the Gaza Strip.
At least 493 Palestinians had been killed in Israeli bombardments on the blockaded enclave since a Hamas attack on Israelis on Saturday, according to a ministry death toll published earlier Monday.
Israel said Monday it carried out hundreds of airstrikes against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, while Israeli troops worked to oust Hamas militants still fighting in southern Israel.
Israeli military spokesperson Lt. Col. Richard Hecht told reporters that fighting was still ongoing in seven to eight places in Israel and that it was taking longer than expected to repel the incursion that began Saturday.
Another spokesperson, Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, said Israel had called up 100,000 reserve troops. (Reuters/VOA)
