Children among Scores Killed As Israeli Siege on Northern Gaza Intensifies


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An Israeli air strike has destroyed a five-story residential building sheltering displaced families in Gaza’s Beit Lahiya, killing at least 77 Palestinians and wounding dozens.

The death toll has increased with 77 people confirmed dead in the attack on the residential building in Beit Lahiya in the north of the Strip.

The images show that more bodies are being pulled from under the rubble, including women and children, Al Jazeera reported.

The residential building was completely flattened by multiple air strikes earlier this morning carried out by the Israeli military.

A hundred people, including children, are estimated to be inside this building.

These are local residents of the area – the owner of this residential building, relatives and in-laws who were forced into internal displacement.

They were from the Jabalia refugee camp and the vicinity and displaced after the Israeli military stormed the area.

In Gaza, at least 43,020 people have been killed and 101,110 wounded in Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023.
