CNN —At least 87 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit several multi-story buildings overnight Saturday on Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, the enclave’s health ministry said.
The number killed includes 27 bodies retrieved so far and 60 people under the rubble.
More than 40 people had been injured, including a number of very critical cases, the ministry said.
CNN has approached the Israeli military for fresh comment on the strike.
Sinwar’s death is the latest blow to the Palestinian militant group in Gaza, where the enclave’s health ministry says more than 42,000 people have been killed since October 7.
