Chilling scenes of massacre after Israeli strike on residential building kills 93 Palestinians in Gaza

The Israeli army bombed a five-storey residential building in Beit Lahiya on Tuesday morning, killing at least 93 Palestinians, while over 40 others are missing or feared trapped under the rubble, according to Gaza government media office.

A video circulating on social media showed the bodies of victims covered in blankets on the ground.

The occupation army has not issued a statement regarding the bombing, which has left northern Gaza witnessing scenes of devastating carnage as Israeli attacks intensify and the enclave remains isolated from the outside world.

Approximately 200 displaced civilians had taken shelter in the building, with many bearing the brunt of the ongoing assault.

Al Jazeera reported that several wounded victims arrived at Kamal Adwan Hospital, which had ceased functioning due to the Israeli siege, and there were no medical staff available to provide treatment.

In a 24-day siege that created apocalyptic conditions in north Gaza, the Israeli army killed over 1,000 civilians through relentless bombings targeting hospitals, school shelters, and residential areas.

Israel claimed its forces had “eliminated 40 terrorists” in Jabalia but provided no substantial evidence and continues  indiscriminate targeting of civilians in pursuit of Hamas fighters.

Videos and pictures of horrific violence cotinue to surface on social media from Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun, amid a communications blackout in the northern regions of Gaza due to relentless Israeli military offensive.

The overall Palestinian death toll since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza has reached at least 43,686 with more than 100,833 wounded. Thousands more remain trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
