At least 16 people were killed in an Israeli attack on a house in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources said Tuesday.

A brief statement issued by the Civil Defense said that Israeli aircraft bombed a house near the Beit Lahia Square. The residents had called for civil defense and medical services, but unfortunately, there are no such services in northern Gaza now, said the statement.

The Israeli army has not commented on this incident yet.

Israel has been conducting a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and around 250 others taken hostage.

The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza has risen to 43,061, the Gaza-based health authorities said in a statement on Tuesday.
