14 people killed in Israeli strikes on northern Gaza, health ministry says | News in brief

Two Israeli airstrikes have killed 14 people in northern Gaza, the Gaza Ministry of Health, controlled by the extremist organization Hamas, says.

The Israeli armed forces, on the other hand, say that four Israeli soldiers died in northern Gaza.

Israel tightened its blockade of northern Gaza in early October as it stepped up its military operation in the region. The UN has warned that the entire population of the region is at risk of death due to the blockade and fighting.
