Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza kills at least 60 as parliament bans UNRWA operations
Summary: An Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza killed at least 60 people, including 25 children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The strike targeted a building in Beit Lahiya where displaced families were sheltering. The Israeli military is investigating the incident.
This attack follows a recent Israeli parliamentary decision to ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides aid to Palestinians. The new laws restrict UNRWA's operations in Israel and Gaza, raising concerns about humanitarian efforts in the region.
Since the conflict escalated after the October 7 Hamas attack, over 43,000 Palestinians have died in Gaza. The Israeli military has intensified its operations in northern Gaza, claiming to target Hamas forces regrouping there.
