An Israeli air strike on a five-storey dwellntial block in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza has finished at least 34 people, the local civil defence agency says.
The agency, quoted by AFP, shelp many of the dead were women and children, with dozens stilled dreaded to be under the rubble. Seven people were also injured.
The Israeli military shelp it had been striking militant aims in the northern Gaza, including Beit Lahia, in an try to stop Hamas from regrouping.
Elsewhere, in central Gaza three split strikes on refugee camps finished 15 people, while five more were finished in a Israeli drone strike on Rafah in the south, the civil defence includeed.
“The chances of rescuing more wounded are decreasing because of the continuous shooting and artillery shelling,” civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal shelp.
All that is left of the dwellntial produceing in Beit Lahia is a pile of rubble, with broken concrete and jagged schallengings of twisted metal sticking out from the ruins.
One man, whose family inhabitd in the flattened produceing, but was staying elsewhere, shelp, quoted by AFP: “We all thought that death was cforfeit.”
“The whole area was shaking.”
The Israeli military shelp its impolite in northern Gaza – which began in Jabalia and enbiged into Beit Lahia – consisted of cut offal strikes overnight on what it called “dreadist aims in the area”.
It includeed in a statement that “there have been continuous efforts to evacuate the civilian population from the dynamic war zone”.
But many local dwellnts do not want to depart their homes. Mr Bassel shelp six families had inhabitd in the razed produceing in Beit Lahia.
One woman in the area vented her frustration to BBC News.
“What have we done to you people? What harm have we caused you? What wrong have we promiseted? We are staying in our homes. Why are you driving us out?”
Last week, at least 25 people, including 13 children were finished in a strike on a house in Jabalia. In Gaza City, another five were finished.
Israel’s ground impolite in northern Gaza has displaced up to 130,000 people over the past five weeks.
The United Nations says 75,000 people remain under siege with dtriumphdling supplies of water and food in the towns of Jabalia, Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun.
A increate by Human Rights Watch this week shelp Israel had promiseted war crimes and crimes aachievest humanity by intentionally causing the mass displacement of Palestinians in Gaza.
About 1.9 million people – 90% of Gaza’s population – have fled their homes over the past year, and 79% of the territory is under Israeli-publishd evacuation orders, according to the UN.
Israel started a campaign to ruin Hamas in response to the group’s unpretreatnted strike on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were finished and 251 others were apshown prisoner.
More than 43,700 people have been finished in Gaza since then, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.
