Eight Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrike on Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza

GAZA, November 19, 2024 (WAFA) - At least eight Palestinians were killed this evening in an Israeli airstrike which targeted a building in the town of Beit Lahiya, north of the Gaza Strip, local sources reported. 

According to witnesses, the attack targeted a residential building, home to members of the al-Kahlout family and displaced civilians, near the Gaza Electric Company in the town of Beit Lahiya.

Emergency responders managed to pull out some of the victims and transfer them to Kamal Adwan Hospital. However, reports indicate that several people remain trapped under the rubble, with rescue teams unable to access the site due to the ongoing airstrikes and the scale of the destruction.

This latest attack is part of the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, which has been going on since October 7, 2023. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the aggression has claimed the lives of 43,972 people, the majority of whom are women and children, while over 104,000 have been injured. 

The toll continues to rise as many victims remain buried under the debris, with emergency teams struggling to reach them due to the continuous bombardment.
