The Hamas-run government said that the Israeli military attacked a Gaza refugee camp on Saturday night, killing at least 38 people.

Israel continued to strike Gaza Strip by air, sea, and ground overnight. Gaza health officials said Israeli air strikes destroyed a cluster of houses in the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.

Many of the victims were women and children and the injured were taken to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, the Hamas-run Ministry of Health said in a statement.

Footage taken at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital showed rows of bodies laid out under white tarpaulin including five children.  

The refugee camp is south of Wadi, with a population of 33,000, where the IDF has repeatedly made calls to civilians to evacuate.
