At least 50 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes on a five-story apartment building in the Beit Lahia project area of northern Gaza this morning.
Medical sources told Anadolu Agency that around 50 people were killed and several others were trapped under the rubble.
Since October 5, Israel has launched a large-scale ground operation in the northern Gaza Strip, claiming that its goal is to prevent Hamas from regaining power in the area. However, Palestinian officials say the operation is aimed at forcibly depopulation and establishing a buffer zone.
More than 43,700 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip since October 7 last year.
The Israeli offensive has displaced almost the entire population of the enclave amid a continuing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel is also facing charges of genocide at the International Court of Justice over its deadly war in Gaza.
