An Israeli airstrike on a five-story residential building in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, has left over 90 Palestinians, including 25 children, dead or

Dozens of Palestinians, including women and children, were killed in an Israeli strike on the northern Gaza city of Beit Lahiya Tuesday. While some of the dead may have been Hamas fighters that Israel said was targeting, others were civilians who stayed in the area, FRANCE 24's Irris Makler said, reporting from Jerusalem."The civilians, as always in war, but particularly this war, are the ones who pay the price," she added. 

An Israeli air strike on a single residential block in northern Gaza's Beit Lahia killed nearly 100 people on Tuesday, Gaza's civil defence agency said, leaving rescuers scrambling for survivors as Israel pursued its offensives in Gaza and Lebanon. Israel's key ally and backer the United States called the strike – which killed a large number of children – "horrifying".
