Israeli strike on residential block kills 72 in north Gaza

Dozens of Palestinians were killed and injured in an Israeli strike on a residential building housing at least six families in Gaza, medics and residents said. The strike in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya killed 72 people, according to the Gaza government media office. The Palestinian Civil Defence said around 70 people lived in the property.

Video footage of the aftermath of the strike shows locals pulling bodies from large piles of rubble, with surrounding houses heavily damaged.

It comes weeks after Israeli tanks were sent into Beit Lahiya and the nearby town of Beit Hanoun, and Jabalia in northern Gaza, where the largest of Gaza’s eight historic refugee camps is located. This has raised fears that Israel intends to force civilians from the region.
