Israeli Airstrike Kills 20 People In Northern Gaza

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinian officials say an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza has killed at least 20 people, mostly women and children. Israel is waging a nearly monthlong air and ground operation in what was already the most isolated and heavily destroyed part of the territory. The strike late Monday hit a home where several displaced families were sheltering in the town of Beit Lahiya, near the border with Israel. That’s according to the director of the recently raided and barely functioning Kamal Adwan Hospital, which received the casualties. Health oficials say separate strikes elsewhere in Gaza early Tuesday killed another 10 people.
