An Israeli airstrike on a multi-story building in northern Gaza killed at least 27 people, relief officials said, as the Israeli military issued new evacuation orders in the area, where it is mounting a major offensive.
The home of the Mbahouh family in Jabalya was struck on Thursday afternoon, according to the spokesperson for Gaza’s Civil Defence, Mahmoud Basal.
He said the four-story property was sheltering more than 50 displaced people, and some had been trapped in a warehouse at the bottom of the building. CNN is reaching out to the Israeli military on the target of the strike.
Also on Thursday, an Israeli airstrike hit Al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City. Another killed at least four people in Al-Rimal School, west of Gaza City, Basal said. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) confirmed the airstrike on Al-Shati refugee camp and claimed the school was used as a “command and control centre” by Hamas. The IDF said it could not comment on the second attack without coordinates. (CNN)
