An Israeli airstrike on a multi-story building in northern Gaza killed at least 27 people, relief officials said, as the Israeli military issued new evacuation orders in the area, where it is mounting a major offensive. The home of the Mbahouh family in Jabalya was struck on Thursday afternoon, according to the spokesperson for Gaza’s Civil Defense, Mahmoud Basal. He said the four-story property was sheltering more than 50 displaced people, and some had been trapped in a warehouse at the bottom of the building. CNN is reaching out to the Israeli military on the target of the strike. The Israeli military campaign in Gaza since the October 7 Hamas-led attacks has demolished entire neighborhoods and rendered large swathes of the strip uninhabitable. At least 43,469 Palestinians have been killed and another 102,561 people injured in Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health there.
