For his part, journalist Islam Badr said one of the bombed apartment buildings in Beit Lahia contained over 50 martyrs, not to mention dozens of wounded and missing people under the rubble.
A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) also affirmed an Israeli warplane bombed after midnight a five-story building belonging to the family of Abdul-Ati in Beit Lahia, killing 50 people and injuring dozens, adding that displaced civilians from the family of al-Taluli were also living in that building.
For his part, Salah Abdul-Ati, chairman of the International Commission to Support Palestinian Rights’ board of directors, said that an Israeli aerial attack targeted the house of his family in Beit Lahia and reduced it to rubble, killing scores of displaced people who lived in the house.
