Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza kill at least 87, officials report
Summary: Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza have resulted in at least 87 deaths or missing persons, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The strikes targeted homes in Beit Lahiya, injuring 40 others. This area has faced significant destruction since Israel's ground invasion began nearly a year ago.
The strikes coincide with a U.S. investigation into leaked classified documents regarding Israel's military plans against Iran. The documents suggest Israel is preparing for a military response following an Iranian missile attack on October 1.
Israel continues its military operations in Gaza, particularly in the Jabaliya refugee camp, where it claims to target Hamas militants. The humanitarian situation in northern Gaza remains dire, with internet connectivity issues complicating information gathering.
