KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip—A barrage of Israeli airstrikes leveled apartment buildings in a refugee camp near Gaza City on Tuesday. Israel said the strike, which targeted a senior Hamas terrorist leader, destroyed a command center and an underground tunnel network.

The toll from the attack in the Jabaliya camp was not immediately known. The director of the nearby hospital where casualties were taken, Dr. Atef Al-Kahlot, said hundreds of people were wounded or killed, but he did not provide exact figures.
