Isreali overnight strike kills 55 people in Gaza’s northern district

Gaza’s civil defence agency disclosed on Tuesday, that an overnight Israeli air strike killed more than 55 people in a residential building in the northern district of Beit Lahia.

The bodies of 15 people killed in the strike were brought to Kamal Adwan Hospital, according to its director, while revealing that 35 wounded people, mostly children, were being treated at the hospital.

Recall that Since October 6th, the Isreali military has conducted a sweeping air and ground assault in northern Gaza, particularly in the areas of Jabalia, Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun, in what it describes as an operation to prevent Hamas militants from regrouping.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been forced to flee northern Gaza since the onslaught began, while the civil defence agency has reported hundreds of deaths.
