Israeli strikes on northern and central Gaza killed at least 87 Palestinians in 24 hours, local health authorities said, as the death toll in the enclave surpassed 44,000. <\/p>\n
In an interview with Hamas\u2019 Al-Aqsa TV, he said about 200 people were believed to have been at the site when the Israeli military struck. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe hospital medical team retrieved 65 martyrs from under the rubble,\u201d Abu Safiya said, adding that medical staff were recovering bodies from under the rubble \u201cusing their hands\u201d due to the absence of rescue teams. <\/p>\n
Safiya warned that the hospital \u201cwill turn into a mass grave if urgent intervention from international organizations does not occur and medical supplies are not brought in,\u201d adding that \u201cnot a single ambulance\u201d was available in northern Gaza. <\/p>\n
In a separate strike on Wednesday, at least 22 people were killed, including 10 children, north of Gaza City in the center of the enclave, according to Dr. Muneer Alboursh, director general of the Ministry of Health in Gaza. <\/p>\n
The airstrike hit a family home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, Alboursh said in a statement on Thursday. <\/p>\n
Gaza\u2019s civil defense said that rescue teams were working to recover people from the rubble and that the death toll was expected to rise. <\/p>\n
The strikes come as the death toll in Gaza climbs after Israel\u2019s renewed offensive in the north of the territory. <\/p>\n
At least 44,056 people have been killed and more than 104,000 injured in the enclave since the war began last year, according to the Health Ministry in Gaza. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile in Lebanon, Israel launched airstrikes on the southern suburb of Beirut early Thursday, according to Lebanon\u2019s state-run National News Agency (NNA). The strikes were accompanied by low-altitude flights of hostile drones over the area, NNA said. <\/p>\n
The airstrikes, targeting the Hezbollah stronghold of Haret Hreik, destroyed several buildings, NNA said. <\/p>\n
Earlier on Thursday, Avichay Adraee, the Israel military\u2019s spokesperson to Arabic media, posted evacuation warnings on X mapping three buildings in the area Haret Hreik, saying they were potential targets. He issued a similar evacuation warning for seven buildings in the historic southern city of Tyre. <\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s strikes came as US envoy Amos Hochstein engages in ceasefire negotiations between Lebanon and Israel. He arrived in Israel on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
While in Lebanon on Tuesday, Hochstein said that a ceasefire deal is \u201cwithin our grasp,\u201d but added it was ultimately \u201cthe decision of the parties.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
