Israeli air strikes have hit densely populated area in northern Gaza with no warning, killing at least 35 Palestinians.
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed after an Israeli strike destroyed several buildings in a residential area of Beit Lahiya in besieged northern Gaza, with the Health Ministry describing it as a “horrific massacre”.
According to witnesses and medical sources, at least 35 people were killed on Saturday evening with dozens more wounded, Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum said, reporting from central Gaza.
Local media reports said civil defence crews were not able to reach the site because of Israeli fire.
Abu Azzoum said multiple air strikes hit the densely populated area with no warnings given.
“People are trying to recover victims from under the rubble because civil defence rescuers are unable to reach the scene after first responders were targeted by Israeli forces earlier today,” he said.
