Israel launched a new ground offensive in the northern Gaza Strip on Friday under the cover of heavy bombardment, killing and wounding scores of Palestinians.
According to the director of al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, at least 100 people were killed and many more wounded, including women and children, during a “bloody night” of relentless attacks.
Aerial and artillery bombardment, along with naval shelling, targeted various areas in the northwest of the Gaza Strip.
Several inhabited homes in Beit Lahia and Jabalia were flattened, with dozens of bodies recovered, while dozens more remain trapped under the rubble.
The northern Gaza Strip has been heavily battered in previous Israeli air and ground attacks throughout the 19-month war.
