Gaza's civil defence agency said Tuesday that an overnight Israeli air strike killed more than 55 people in a residential building in the northern district of Beit Lahia.

"More than 55 people have been martyred and dozens more wounded are under the rubble of a five-storey residential building belonging to the Abu Nasr family that was hit by the Israeli occupation last night in Beit Lahia," agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP.
