Gaza: 34 People, Mostly Women and Children, Killed in Israeli Strike in Beit Lahiya
According to Palestinian officials, 34 people, mostly women and children, were killed in northern Gaza in an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday morning, October 29, amid the Israel-Hamas war. Palestinian Health Ministry said Israeli strike on a 5-story building where displaced Palestinians were sheltering.
The ministry's emergency service informed news agency Associate Press (AP) that 20 people were seriously injured in the strike in the northern town of Beit Lahiya, near the Israeli border. Israel's military has been waging a large-scale operation in the Gaza Strip for more than three weeks, targeting women and children by saying that they are attacking Hamas militants who have regrouped there.
