Israeli Strike in Northern Gaza Kills at Least 87 Palestinians

At least 87 Palestinians were killed by an Israeli strike on residential buildings in Beit Lahia, a city in northern Gaza, CNN reported on Sunday.

The report cited Gaza’s Health Ministry, which said the dead included 27 bodies that had been retrieved and 60 bodies still stuck under the rubble. At least 40 people were wounded by the strike, and some are in very critical condition.

Footage of the aftermath and at the Kadwan hospital, where the casualties were taken, showed that children were among the dead. An unidentified Palestinian man told CNN that the buildings were sheltering displaced families.
