Israeli tanks shell school in northern Gaza killing seven

At least seven people were killed in a shelling strike by Israeli tanks on a school in Beit Lahia in the north of the Gaza Strip, Palestine’s WAFA news agency reported.

According to the media outlet, the building was sheltering those who were forced to leave their homes.

The news agency noted that over the past 24 hours, Israeli troops have carried out over 20 raids in the enclave which resulted in dozens of casualties.

•  Nearly 16 hours after an Israeli airstrike hit across the street from Beirut’s main public hospital, rescuers were still removing debris Tuesday from the overcrowded slum area.

An excavator was digging at one of the destroyed buildings, picking out twisted metal and bricks in search of bodies.
Residents standing on mounds of debris said an entire family remained missing under the rubble.
