Israel has declared a “complete siege” on Gaza and launched hundreds of strikes on the Palestinian enclave as Hamas claimed Israeli bombings had killed Israeli hostages being held there.
Palestinian militants are believed to have abducted more than 100 people during a surprise multi-front attack in which they killed more than 700 – making Saturday the deadliest day in Israel’s history.
In response, Israel has launched hundreds of strikes from the air and sea, killing more than 500 Palestinians in Gaza, an area home to 2.3 million people with nowhere to flee.
