GAZA STRIP, Oct 31 (Agencies): The health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip said at least 50 people were killed Tuesday in Israeli bombardment of a refugee camp in the Palestinian territory.
"More than 50 martyrs and around 150 wounded and dozens under the rubble, in a heinous Israeli massacre that targeted a large area of homes in Jabalia camp in the northern (Gaza) Strip," a ministry statement said.
AFP video footage from the scene showed at least 47 bodies recovered from the rubble after the strike hit several houses in the densely crowded camp.
Israel says there were "large exchanges" with Hamas in Gaza overnight as its ground offensive continues.
Air strikes on the Gaza Strip also continued overnight - Israel says more than 300 targets were hit in total.
Israel says it's focusing on northern Gaza but continues to strike "all parts of the Strip".
Hamas says it ambushed three Israeli vehicles with anti-tank missiles and attacked ground troops with shells in southern Gaza.
