The Israeli government is facing mounting pressure from the United States to provide answers regarding a deadly airstrike that took place in northern Gaza on Tuesday. According to US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller, the Israeli government has not yet provided a satisfactory explanation for the strike, which resulted in the deaths of at least 93 people, including 25 children.

The airstrike targeted a multi-story building in Beit Lahiya and is believed to be one of the deadliest incidents in Israel's recent bombing campaign in northern Gaza. The strike has drawn condemnation from human rights groups and NGOs, who have called for accountability and transparency from the Israeli government.
