Dozens of people have been killed and injured in an Israeli attack on a residential building in Beit Lahiya in the north of the Gaza Strip, health workers say. Palestinian emergency services told Reuters that around 70 people lived in the building. Israel has not yet commented on the message. Several blocks of flats in Beit Lahiya have been razed to the ground in recent weeks. Palestinian media reports at the same time that Israeli forces are in the process of demolishing tens of residential buildings in the Jabalia refugee camp, which is also located in northern Gaza, according to Al Jazeera. The area has been under siege by Israeli forces for over a month. Israel has asked the entire civilian population to leave the area, but many have not wanted to leave their homes for fear that they will never be able to return. Israel says the attacks will ensure that Hamas is unable to attack Israel. (NTB)
