Dozens of Palestinians were killed or injured in a recent Israeli strike on a residential building in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza. The strike, which took place on Sunday morning, resulted in fatalities of up to 72 people according to reports from the government media office in Gaza. The number of casualties cannot be confirmed independently, and Israeli officials have accused Gaza authorities of exaggerating casualty reports in the past. In Lebanon, Israeli strikes continued with attacks in Beirut and other locations, including in a Hezbollah stronghold, prompting thick smoke to rise over the targets. Israeli military said these attacks were “intelligence-based” and targeted Hezbollah command centers and infrastructure. The offensive in Gaza and Lebanon have led to significant casualties, with multiple civilians dead and injured in recent airstrikes.
The ongoing conflict has raised widespread concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, with reports of a “Generals’ Plan” within Israeli forces aiming to remove Palestinians from the northern part of Gaza by various means. Medics have reported numerous casualties, including children and women, as a result of the Israeli offensives in both Gaza and Lebanon. The conflict has been ongoing since Palestinian militants launched an attack into southern Israel last year, resulting in significant casualties on both sides. The international community has called for a ceasefire to prevent further loss of life and to address the escalating violence.
