The Palestinian Civil Defense reported at least 55 people had died in the latest Israeli strike on Beit Lahia, while Gaza's Health Ministry estimates over 93 casualties, including a significant number of children. This has raised severe concerns over the treatment of civilians in conflict zones.
Matthew Miller, a U.S. State Department spokesman, described the strike in Beit Lahia as a horrifying incident, emphasizing the tragic fate of many children, who sought safety but ended up being victims.
The Israeli military contended that the area was previously evacuated and regarded as an active combat zone while acknowledging reports of civilian casualties and stating they were investigating the incident.
Hamas condemned the strike, labeling it a horrific massacre, and is urging international authorities to intervene and take action against the ongoing Israeli offensives in Gaza.
