Tragic Airstrike in Northern Gaza Claims Over 60 Lives

 


In a devastating incident, an Israeli airstrike on a five-story building in the northern Gaza Strip has resulted in the deaths of at least 60 people, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The building, located in Beit Lahiya, was sheltering displaced Palestinians, many of whom were women and children.

The strike occurred early Tuesday morning, causing significant casualties and leaving many others injured or trapped under the rubble. Emergency services are working tirelessly to rescue those still buried beneath the debris.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that they are aware of civilian casualties and are investigating the incident. The IDF emphasized that their operations target Hamas militants and that efforts are made to avoid civilian harm.

The humanitarian impact of this strike has been profound, with local hospitals overwhelmed by the influx of wounded individuals. The international community continues to call for a ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid to the affected areas.
