Nearly 100 people, including children, were killed in a major Israeli ground, air, and sea assault on north Gaza early Friday, according to Gaza’s civil defence. The attack hit Beit Lahia, destroying homes and tents. Residents said people were trapped, and Israeli tanks surrounded shelters. Witnesses described it as the most intense attack since March. Israel claims it targeted terrorist infrastructure and eliminated several militants. Leaflets urging evacuation sparked panic. The humanitarian crisis worsens amid a full blockade and ongoing fighting. Aid remains scarce, and the UN warns of famine risks for Gaza’s 2.1 million residents. (PC: Reuters)
