Dozens reportedly killed in Israeli strikes on northern Gaza | BBC News

Dozens of people are reported to have been killed in overnight Israeli air strikes in northern Gaza. Paramedics and Hamas-affiliated media said at least 66 were killed, including women and children, when several houses sheltering displaced people were hit near Kamal Adwan hospital in the town of Beit Lahia. One unverified video showed more than 20 bodies lined up in a street. Another 22 people were killed in a strike on a house in the northern Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of Gaza City, according to the Hamas-run Civil Defence agency. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military. It has recently intensified its offensive in northern Gaza, saying it is stopping Hamas from regrouping. In a separate development, US mediator Amos Hochstein has arrived in Israel from Lebanon.
