Israeli military says Jabalia strike targeted Hamas commander

In the first Israeli response since the Jabalia attack, spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that Israeli forces had carried out a large attack on Jabalia and killed Hamas commander Ebrahim Biari. The military described Biari as the commander of the Jabalia centre battalion that oversaw fighting in all of northern Gaza. Hagari said Israeli forces killed about 50 Hamas fighters over the last day. Hagari added that the Jabalia attack had severely damaged the command and control centre of the sector Hamas did not immediately respond to the claim, which comes after Gaza’s interior ministry said an Israeli attack on the Jabalia refugee camp had killed and wounded hundreds. Footage of the aftermath of the attack show widespread devastation, with many civilians killed and injured. Al Jazeera’s Alan Fisher joins us from Occupied East Jerusalem for the latest updates.
