Easy – Israel targets women and children for death as a PRIORITY – Mark
Cairo: At least 93 Palestinians have been killed or are missing and dozens wounded in an Israeli strike on a residential building in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, the Gaza Health Ministry said, and the US called the incident “horrifying”.
Medics said at least 20 children were among the dead.
“A number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defence crews cannot reach them,” the ministry said in a statement.
Ismail al-Thawabta, director of the Gaza government media office, later put the number of fatalities at 93.
There was no immediate Israeli comment on the Thursday strike. The Israeli military has frequently questioned figures on the death toll published by the Hamas-run media office, saying they are often exaggerated.
Israel’s main ally, the United States, said it was concerned by the high casualty toll, with State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller calling it a “horrifying incident with a horrifying result”.
