An Israeli airstrike on a multi-story building in northern Gaza has resulted in the tragic loss of more than 90 lives, with 25 children among the casualties, as reported by Palestinian authorities. The devastating incident occurred in Beit Lahiya during the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The Israeli military has stated that the strike was aimed at a 'suspected terrorist' who was observed in the vicinity. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the airstrike is currently underway to determine the full extent of the situation.
This tragic event unfolded just a day after Israel's parliament passed bills that effectively banned UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) from operating within the country. The decision to target the building in Beit Lahiya has sparked international concern and calls for a thorough examination of the military's actions.
The loss of civilian lives, particularly children, has drawn widespread condemnation and renewed calls for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict in the region. The escalation of violence in Gaza has once again highlighted the urgent need for diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions and prevent further loss of innocent lives.
As the situation continues to unfold, the international community remains closely monitoring developments in the region and urging all parties involved to prioritize the protection of civilians and work towards a sustainable peace agreement.
