A recent Israeli strike in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, has resulted in the deaths of at least nine charity workers, with several others injured. The Israeli military claimed it had targeted “terrorists” operating a drone, but Gaza’s health ministry confirmed that nine people, including three journalists, were killed in the strike.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic, with one witness, Mahmoud Louay Atiya, stating that he had to put out a fire caused by the strike using bottles of water. Another man reported that his 17-year-old son was killed in the attack, despite not being affiliated with Hamas.
