At least 50 people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a building in the northern Gaza Strip, the Hamas-controlled health authority said late on Thursday.
Among the victims were five staff members of a nearby clinic in Beit Lahia, including a paediatrician, a laboratory assistant, two paramedics, and a technician, according to the authority and the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Hussam Abu Safiya.
The information cannot be independently verified. The Israeli military initially did not comment when approached.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military said that one of its soldiers was killed during clashes in the northern Gaza Strip.
