The Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Beit Lahia has led to significant casualties, with reports indicating over 90 Palestinians dead or missing, including 25 children. The Israeli military stated that the strike targeted an individual observing their forces but did not realize the building housed displaced civilians. This incident has drawn condemnation from the U.S. and raised concerns regarding humanitarian law violations.
Eyewitness accounts describe the tragic aftermath, including families trapped under the rubble. Medical facilities in the area are overwhelmed, and humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate as the conflict escalates. Since the beginning of the Israeli ground offensive on October 6, reports suggest thousands have died, and many more have been displaced.
