The military says it was responding to a gunman crossing into Israeli-held territory, but Hamas called the allegation ‘an excuse to kill’.
Israeli air strikes in Gaza killed at least 20 people and wounded more than 80, local health authorities said on Saturday, in a further test of a fragile ceasefire between the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel.
Witnesses and medical staff said the first attack hit a car in the densely populated Rimal neighbourhood, setting it ablaze.
