At least 73 people were killed in a devastating Israeli attack on the town of Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday. The media authority of the government controlled by the terrorist organization Hamas announced this in the evening. The target of the bombing was said to have been a multi-story building, but several houses were affected. There were also dozens of injured and missing people. Aggressor Israel initially did not comment.
“This is a war of genocide and ethnic cleansing. The occupation carried out a horrific massacre in Beit Lahiya,” the terrorist organization’s media office said. The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health had previously reported that 35 people had died in further attacks in the Gaza Strip.
According to residents and doctors, the Israeli army had recently increased its siege of the Jabalia refugee camp, with civilians from the nearby towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya being ordered to evacuate. The army said the aim was to separate civilians and Hamas fighters. Allegations that the actions were aimed at expelling people were denied.
Since the military campaign to overthrow Hamas began a year ago, Israel has been repeatedly accused of seeking ethnic cleansing from the Gaza Strip. Although this is officially denied, leading government politicians have spoken in this direction.
