An Israeli airstrike in the northern Gaza Strip has resulted in the deaths of at least 20 individuals, predominantly women and children, according to Palestinian medical officials. The strike targeted a home in Beit Lahiya, where several families had sought refuge amid ongoing hostilities.

Israel's military has not commented on the incident. The offensive in northern Gaza, said to be aimed at Hamas militants, has persisted for nearly a month, exacerbating the turmoil in an already devastated and isolated region.

Amidst the conflict, Israel has demanded the evacuation of multiple areas, further displacing tens of thousands already fleeing past violence. These actions follow a deadly Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, adding to the tragic toll and straining humanitarian relief efforts.
