Israel has killed at least 40 Palestinians and wounded some 60 others in air strikes on a tent encampment in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, medics said.

A Gaza civil defence official told AFP news agency early on Tuesday that "40 martyrs and 60 wounded were recovered and transferred" to nearby hospitals following an Israeli attack inside the Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone in Khan Younis, the Palestinian territory's main southern city.

Residents and medics said the tent encampment was struck by at least four Israeli missiles. The camp is crowded with displaced Palestinians who have fled from elsewhere in the enclave.

05:32 GMT — Israel said to have killed hostages in December, covered it up

The Israeli army killed three captives, including two soldiers, during a raid on Gaza in December and concealed it from the public, local Israeli media reported.

Israel's Channel 12 said the three Israeli captives — Nik Beizer, Ron Sherman and Elia Toledano — were killed in an Israeli air strike that targeted a senior military leader of the Palestinian resistance group Hamas in northern Gaza.

According to the channel, the Israeli army did not know there were Israeli captives present along with the Hamas leader but has known the details of their deaths since February but chose not to publicise them.
