Israeli military says it 'regrets harm' to civilians after refugee camp strike

The Israeli military says it “regrets the harm” caused to civilians by an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) strike in the Maghazi refugee camp in the centre of Gaza. The United Nations estimates that 86 people died in the strike. The Israeli Defence Force have released a statement following investigations into the air strike on Christmas Eve. "A preliminary investigation revealed that additional buildings located near the targets were also hit during the strikes, which likely caused unintended harm to additional uninvolved civilians. The statement goes on to read that: "The IDF regrets the harm caused to uninvolved civilians and is acting to draw conclusions and learn lessons from this event".
