Scores of Palestinians, including many women and children, have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a crowded block of flats in the Gaza town of Beit Lahiya as Israel pressed on with its intense weeks long assault on the north of the coastal strip.
Gaza’s civil defence agency said 93 people had been killed and 40 were still missing, with many of the victims members of the extended Abu Nasr family, as well as Palestinians displaced from elsewhere. The US state department spokesperson Matthew Miller called the strike “a horrifying incident with a horrifying result”.
