Israel launches major bombardment of eastern Gaza City

Israeli fighter jets have launched a major attack on the eastern part of Gaza City.

Al Jazeera journalist Hani Mahmoud reported that planes are "carpet bombing" the city, in what he said seems to be a "targeted killing by Israel".

"We heard multiple explosions, massive ones, we had to duck and take cover. We could feel the building we’re in shaking," he said, adding that "the entire street was hit by these bombs".
