Israeli strikes kill more than 70 in northern Gaza, local officials say | BBC News

Israeli strikes have killed at least 73 people, including women and children, in the city of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, the strip’s Hamas-run authorities have said.

Dozens of others are injured and many are still trapped under the rubble after the bombing late on Saturday night, officials added.

Israel said it was checking reports of casualties but said the figures published by Hamas authorities were “exaggerated” and did not match information held by its military.

Fighting also continues to be reported in southern Lebanon as well as the south of Beirut on Sunday morning, where smoke was seen rising above the city.

Israel said its air force had attacked “about 175 terrorist targets” in Gaza and Lebanon over the past day.

  2. I have couple of questions for the people supporting the arabs :
    1) what would you ideally want to happen ? Like no one word answers like peace because we all know that in order to be peace is not enough for Israel to stop bombing Gaza after all they started bombing after 7 October
    2) how any of you would have responded differently to 7 October , no answers like this didn't started with 7 October because this is not an answer is just passing the responsibility , a bit like if the Jews would have not went to Israel theory , well they are in Israel now so any sane person needs to come with an answer under the existing circumstances not under hypothesis

  3. I'm very sorry to say that my brother is right. Netanyahu is an old war dog who will not stop. I only saw that God's chosen people were ambushed, murdered, held hostage. I wonder now, what is God teaching Israel? So very sad, today, there are no heroes. Israel, open your ears and hear.

  4. Australian actor Mel Gibson " They will leave soon so they will destroy everything in their paths and the whole world knows who they are " the Israeli extremist zionists . They know their end is near .

  7. How old were they and what is their names. Ethnic cleansing genocide is evil. Hope this genocide and land theft stops soon. It’s horrific. Can’t imagine what these people are going through.

  13. :^> u ppl dont get it…. 200 rockets do nothing when comparing to airstrikes. These aribs are slobs selfish too… if u see the with out cash ud see a pig pen because they are lazy. Everyones picking up after the babies… they poop on everything!!!

  15. Netanyahu is a crazed psychopath, he represents Israel. This is evil vengeance, mass murder, not war. Shame on all Jewish and other people who support this. Abhorrent.

  20. I love popcorn 🍿
    Israel's security failed on Oct 7 in the same way Usa security failed in 2001….
    Understand?!
    POV:We have most advanced weapons in the history of mankind.
    But but but
    Some cave men(2001) and some tunnel men(2023) were able to attack us us us

  22. The BBC is a propaganda wing of neo-Fascist British State institutions. You only have to look at the censorship, lies and propaganda campaign that they conducted during the Northern Ireland Troubles. The founder of the BBC, Lord Reith, made the following public comment in response to the Nazi Occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939: 'Hitler continues his magnificent efficiency.' So nobody should be surprised that the BBC today is an instrument in the British Government's cover for an ongoing mass campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. After the Jimmy Saville cover-up, it really is a pathetic joke of a news broadcaster, not to be taken seriously.

  26. We have are watching a genocide over the course of a year vs a genocidal statement with attempt of action from a single day – Media spin…

    Reality? Palestinians dont have the righy to defend themselves.
