Gaza - Ma'an - Black smoke billowed over Gaza City on Saturday afternoon following an Israeli airstrike on targets throughout the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian medical officials believe at least 120 Palestinians were killed in the attacks, with an additional 200 wounded.

Israel's air force fired around 30 missiles at Palestinian targets in the Gaza Strip on Saturday at noon.

Live video broadcasts showed dozens of injured and dead Palestinians in Gaza City, many of them screaming, while Palestinian ambulances raced to the scene.

Others were running in the streets as one correspondent noted that the airstrikes amounted to the largest Israeli military operation in Gaza "for decades."

A Reuters correspondent who witnessed the attacks said Israeli fighter jets targeted the Gaza City port and de facto government-run buildings.

A spokesperson for the Israeli military had no immediate comment on the airstrikes.
