Eighty-seven people have been killed or are missing after Israeli strikes on multiple homes in the northern Gaza Strip, the territory’s health ministry has said.

It said another 40 people were injured in the strikes on the town of Beit Lahiya overnight and into Sunday. Beit Lahiya, on the northern edge of Gaza, was among the first targets of Israel’s ground invasion nearly a year ago.

There was no immediate comment on the strikes from the Israeli military, which said it is “continuing to operate across Gaza in both aerial strikes and ground operations”.

Israel has been carrying out a major operation in the urban Jabaliya refugee camp, also in northern Gaza, for the last two weeks.
