Hamas-claimed toll from Gaza strike appears exaggerated, Israeli official says
Claims by the Hamas media office that at least 73 people have been killed in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza appear to be exaggerated, an Israeli official says.
The IDF is checking reports on the incident, with a preliminary examination suggesting that the numbers published by the Palestinian terror group do not match the information available to the Israeli military, the official says.
