Israeli airstrike in Gaza kills at least 93 amid ongoing conflict

An Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Beit Lahia, Gaza, on Tuesday resulted in at least 93 Palestinian deaths or missing persons, according to local health officials. The Israeli military claimed the strike targeted a "spotter" observing their forces. The building collapsed during the strike, which was not planned, according to an Israeli military official. They stated they were unaware the building was sheltering displaced civilians. The U.S. condemned the incident, calling it "horrifying" and seeking further explanations from Israel. Since the start of the Israeli ground offensive on October 6, over 43,160 people have reportedly died in Gaza. The ongoing conflict has led to severe humanitarian conditions, with many residents lacking food, water, and medical supplies.
