US is seeking clarification from Israel on a Gaza airstrike resulted in the deaths of over 20 children
The United States is urging Israel to provide clarification on a Gaza airstrike that resulted in the deaths of over 20 children. The Hamas health ministry has reported 93 fatalities in Beit Lahiya, a number disputed by the IDF.
State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller stated on Tuesday that the US has engaged with Israel to seek an account of the "horrifying" incident, emphasizing the importance of addressing the humanitarian crisis in northern Gaza.
The Biden administration has expressed deep concern over the situation and the discrepancy between Israel's stated commitment to aid civilians and its actions on the ground. Reports indicate that among the casualties, at least two dozen children were killed, many of whom had been displaced due to the prolonged conflict. The US awaits a response from Israel regarding the airstrike that has escalated tensions in the region.
Medical professionals, as reported by Reuters, confirmed that a minimum of 20 children were among the casualties. The IDF released a statement acknowledging the reports of the airstrike and stated that they are currently investigating the incident. The military acknowledged responsibility for the strike but advised caution regarding the unverified death toll reported by Hamas authorities. In response to the new offensive in the northern Gaza city, an evacuation order was issued for the Beit Lahiya area earlier this month by the IDF.
The military is currently engaged in operations in the vicinity of Jabalia and Beit Hanoun in order to suppress a renewed surge of Hamas presence in these regions.
