Israeli airstrikes kill 70 residents fleeing Gaza as Palestinian death toll hits 1,900
Israeli airstrikes on convoys fleeing Gaza City have reportedly killed 70 people, mostly women and children.
According to Palestinian militant group Hamas, the cars were struck in three places as they were heading south from Gaza City on Friday.
Isreali military had earlier asked residents of north Gaza to relocate to the south of the Strip in 24 hours ahead of a ground invasion.
However, Hamas asked the people to stay and defy Isreal’s order.
Commenting on the airstrikes, Peter Lerner, lieutenant colonel of the Isreal Defence Forces (IDF), said the military is “looking into the circumstances”.
“I’m not aware of any IDF strikes at this time to that location but we will be updating throughout the day,” Lerner told Sky News.
He also accused Hamas of booby trapping roads and using civilians as human shields.
