Palestinian sources Dozens killed in Israeli attack on Gaza

There is conflicting information about the people who died as a result of the Israeli airstrike on Saturday evening.

The Israeli army carried out an airstrike in the northern parts of the Gaza Strip on Saturday evening. However, there is conflicting information about the number of Palestinians killed in the attack.

At least 73 people have been killed in an Israeli army strike in the Beit Lahia area of ​​the Gaza Strip, claims the Hamas-affiliated Gaza Media Agency.

Israeli officials say that the number of casualties reported by the Hamas media agency is exaggerated according to preliminary information and does not correspond to the number of dead received by the Israeli army.

Earlier, local hospital sources reported only about twenty people who died in the attack.

According to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health, several dozen people were also wounded in the attack. In addition, dozens of people are said to be missing after the attack.

According to the sources, the Israeli airstrike hit several multi-storey residential buildings in Beit Lahia in the northern parts of Gaza.

It is said that several dozen people were also wounded in the attack.
