GAZA, Palestine: At least 73 Palestinians were killed during an Israeli airstrike targeting a residential area in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, according to the Palestinian News Agency. The attack caused the destruction of an entire residential block, leaving dozens more wounded and missing.

This incident is part of a larger Israeli military operation in Gaza, which includes a ground invasion of the Jabalia refugee camp. Thousands of Palestinian families remain trapped in their homes amidst the intensifying siege.

Gaza’s Civil Defence reports that over 400 Palestinians have been killed in northern Gaza in the past two weeks due to increased military operations. The overall death toll since the conflict escalated on October 7, 2023, now stands at 43,257 Palestinians, according to Al-Jazeera.

The ongoing violence has led to mounting casualties and has further exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, drawing international attention.
