"Many killed" in Gaza air raids

GAZA CITY (CNN) - Israeli aircraft launched air attacks across Gaza Saturday, killing at least 100 people, including the Hamas police chief, according to Israeli and Palestinian sources.

A statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Israeli aircraft attacked "a series of Hamas targets and infrastructure facilities."

"Many killed and many injured," a Gaza-based reporter said. "People are running in the streets."

"The Air Force activity came as a result of the continuation of terror activity by Hamas terror organization from the Gaza Strip, and the duration of rocket launching and targeting Israeli civilians," the IDF statement said.
