BBC World Service - Newshour, Hamas: Scores killed in Israeli strike

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 70 killed in refugee camp explosion

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 70 killed in refugee camp explosion.

There are reports from the Hamas-run health ministry that more than 70 people were killed in an explosion at a refugee camp in the centre of Gaza. Hamas claims it was an Israeli air strike. The Israeli military says it's looking into the incident. In his first public statement since Hamas attacked Israel in October, its leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, says the group is facing a “fierce, violent and unprecedented battle.” 

Also in the programme: Police in Indian-administered Kashmir say they've launched an investigation into the deaths of three civilians, who were reportedly detained by security forces; and the Newshour presenters compete in a quiz of the year, including a mystery guest.
