Death toll from Israeli strikes in northern Gaza rises to 23

Israeli military strikes have killed at least 23 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, most of them in the town of Beit Lahiya on the northern edge as the army issued new evacuation orders in the south of the small enclave, Reuters reports.

Medics said eight people had been killed in a series of airstrikes in Beit Lahiya while four others were killed elsewhere in Gaza City.

An Israeli airstrike later killed two people and wounded others in Jabalia, the largest of Gaza’s eight historic refugee camps, in the coastal enclave’s north, medics said.
