Dozens reportedly killed by Israeli air strike in Gaza's largest refugee camp
Dozens reportedly killed by an Israeli air strike in Jabaila, Gaza's largest refugee camp.
The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) has confirmed it carried out an air strike on Jabaila, Gaza's largest refugee camp.
The Hamas-run health ministry says at least fifty people were killed, while pictures from the scene show large craters and levelled buildings.
The IDF claims the strike killed senior Hamas commander and caused the collapse of the group's underground infrastructure.
We also hear from about air strikes in the vicinity of the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza City and we speak to the president of Israel about the aftermath of Hamas' attack in Israel.
Also in the programme: we are in Taiwan to speak to the foreign minister ahead of next year's election.
