An Israeli airstrike on the northern town of Beit Lahiya in Gaza has left almost 90 people dead or missing under rubble.
At least 87 people have been killed or are missing under rubble after an Israeli attack on northern Gaza's town of Beit Lahiya, with more than 40 wounded, the Palestinian health ministry said. The Israeli military has said it was investigating reports of Saturday's incident, which left one of the highest casualty tolls in months, but claims to have hit a Hamas target.
Evacuation orders, directing people south, have fuelled fears among many Palestinians that the operation is intended to clear them out of the northern part of Gaza in order to help ensure Israeli control of the area after the war. Israel has denied any such plans, saying the repeated mass displacement events are an attempt to protect civilians and separate them from Hamas fighters.
