Sky News has seen footage that appears to show a low-loader, carrying scores of people, both before and in the devastating aftermath of a bombing, but Israel's military stresses the need to establish the facts first, arguing the militants are booby trapping roads.
An Israeli airstrike on a convoy fleeing northern Gaza has killed 70 people, mostly women and children, according to Hamas. The militant group said the vehicles were hit as they headed away from Gaza City on Friday after the army ordered more than a million residents to evacuate to the south of the besieged territory ahead of an expected ground invasion.
He said: 'We need to be very clear what exactly happened and we also need to be aware that Hamas is booby trapping roads. 'They could be doing it themselves. Who knows? We don't. 'We need to be very, very cautious in judging before we know the facts.' It is a week since Hamas launched a deadly surprise attack on Israel triggering a conflict that has already claimed more than 3,200 lives on both sides.
