A recent Israeli airstrike on a multi-story residential building in Beit Lahiya, Gaza, resulted in multiple deaths and injuries among Palestinian residents. The Palestinian civil defense reported that approximately 70 people were in the building at the time, with Hamas estimating the death toll at 72. This strike follows a series of large-scale Israeli military operations aimed at preventing Hamas militants from regrouping. The situation has led to concerns over a potential neutral zone being established in Northern Gaza, while the Israeli military denies such intentions.
