Palestinian medical sources say at least 70 people were killed by Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours. At least 20 were killed in the besieged northern town of Beit Lahia when an Israeli airstrike ripped through two homes.
Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers have withdrawn from the Kamal Adwan Hospital after raiding it for a second day in a row. The hospital had already been operating with a skeleton crew after Israeli forces last week detained dozens of medical workers. Israel’s most recent attacks damaged the hospital’s upper floors where the children’s ward was located, seriously wounding a child who was recovering from surgery.
