For 24 days, the Israeli military siege has combined an intense bombing campaign with a ground incursion.
Israeli occupation forces killed 93 Palestinians, including 25 children, in an airstrike on a residential building in Beit Lahia, located in the northern Gaza Strip, where the Zionist Army has maintained an intense military siege for 24 days.

The five-story building housed hundreds of displaced civilians who reported that the Israeli siege on the three main hospitals in northern Gaza now prevents dozens of wounded people from receiving medical care due to a lack of resources and doctors.
Palestinian media reported another airstrike shortly afterward near the Kamal Adwan Hospital, also in Beit Lahia, where some of the bombing victims had already been taken. The Gazan government confirmed that more than 40 people are currently missing under the rubble of the bombed building.
“The Israeli occupation army knew that this residential building housed dozens of displaced civilians, and that the majority were children and women,” criticized the government of Gaza.
“The Civil Defense work system has been completely dismantled by Israeli aggression in northern Gaza, the arrest of its workers, and the displacement of others,” said Mahmud Basal, spokesperson for the emergency services, noting that they continue to receive alerts about this attack in Beit Lahia.
Videos shared after the massacre show dozens of bodies wrapped in blankets lying beside the rubble of the attacked building. For 24 days, Israel has maintained a military siege on northern Gaza, combining an intense bombing campaign with a ground incursion, which has killed over a thousand people.
On Monday night, two additional Israeli attacks on homes in Beit Lahia killed at least seven people, reported Wafa, which also mentioned a fire caused by the Army—without specifying if it was due to troops or a projectile—at the Al Fakhoura school, linked to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).
Since the start of the offensive against Gaza in October 2023, Israeli occupation forces have killed at least 43,020 Palestinians and injured 101,110 people, according to records from the Gazan Health Ministry.
