Israeli strikes on northern Gaza Strip leave at least 87 dead or missing
Global News
Gaza's health ministry says the influx of wounded people following the strikes is worsening "an already catastrophic situation for the health care system."
Israeli strikes on several homes in the northern Gaza Strip overnight left at least 87 people dead or missing, the territory’s health ministry said Sunday.
Forty other people were injured in the strikes on the town of Beit Lahiya, which was one of the first targets of the Israeli ground invasion nearly a year ago.
The strikes came as the United States investigates the unauthorized disclosure of classified documents assessing Israel’s plans to attack Iran, according to three U.S. officials. A fourth said the documents appeared legitimate.
The documents, attributed to the U.S. Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency and marked “top secret,” indicate that Israel is building military capabilities to carry out a military attack in response to Iran’s October 1 ballistic missile attack.
The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the strikes in Beit Lahiya. It said it “continues to operate throughout the Gaza Strip, with airstrikes and ground operations.”
