Hamas media office on attack in Gaza: death toll rises to 93
Eyewitnesses report devastating consequences of an attack in the northern Gaza Strip. A multi-story residential building was hit. The situation of civilians in the area is desperate.
The death toll from an Israeli attack in the northern Gaza Strip has risen to 93, according to the Hamas-controlled media office. Around 40 people are still missing, said spokesman Ismail Thawabta. There had previously been talk of more than 60 deaths. The information from the Gaza Strip could not initially be independently verified.
According to eyewitness accounts, a multi-story residential building in Beit Lahia was hit. Numerous people were also injured.
The Israeli army said: “We emphasize that the area has been cleared by the Israeli army and is currently an active combat zone.” Reports that civilians were killed are being investigated. “The Israeli army calls on media outlets to treat information published by Hamas sources with caution because they have proven to be deeply unreliable in previous incidents.” The army is taking targeted action and making efforts to protect uninvolved civilians.
The Israeli army has been intensively deployed again in the north of the Gaza Strip for weeks. She speaks of fighting scattered cells of the Islamist terrorist organization Hamas. According to eyewitnesses, the supply situation in the area is catastrophic. Tens of thousands of civilians have already fled the area.
