STORYLINE:
An Israeli airstrike flattened a prison run by the Hamas-led government in Gaza Strip on Tuesday, killing dozens of prisoners and policemen, according to hospital records.
The prison, located in the urban Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, was hit amid a new wave of Israeli airstrikes which have killed hundreds according to the territory’s Health Ministry.
Associated Press footage showed a collapsed building and people trying to reach bodies buried under the rubble.
The bodies of more than three dozen prisoners and guards were taken to the nearby Shifa hospital.
The Hamas-run government operates a police force that numbered in the tens of thousands before the war and quickly returned to the streets after a ceasefire took hold in January.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the strikes because of a lack of progress in talks to extend the ceasefire.
Officials said the operation was open-ended and was expected to expand.
The surprise attack shattered a period of relative calm during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and raised the prospect of a full return to fighting in a 17-month war that has killed more than 48,000 Palestinians and caused widespread destruction across Gaza.
