At least 87 Palestinians were killed on October 19 following intense Israeli bombing in Beit Lahia, a town in the northern Gaza Strip, according to Gaza health authorities. The bombardment has left the community devastated, with dozens more wounded or missing, most of them children and women.
The Israeli army targeted residential areas in the town, causing widespread destruction and panic among residents. The Hamas-run Gaza government media office released a statement highlighting the dire situation and the heavy toll on civilians.
