The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says at least 23 people were killed earlier today in an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in northern Gaza.
The Al-Ahli hospital also says at least 23 people were killed in the strike, including eight women and eight children. The figures could not be independently verified.
According to the Gaza health ministry, whose figures cannot be independently verified and do not differentiate between civilians and combatants, the strike hit a four-story building in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City and rescue teams were searching for victims under the rubble.
The Hamas-linked Palestinian Civil Defense says other neighboring buildings were damaged in the strike.
The IDF says it has struck several terror operatives in Shejaiya in the last day, including in direct airstrikes, as troops advance through the Gaza City neighborhood.
Israel accuses Hamas of fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools and mosques.
