Updated 6:16 AM EDT, October 20, 2024DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli strikes on multiple homes in the northern Gaza Strip overnight and into Sunday left at least 87 people dead or missing, the territory’s Health Ministry said.
It said another 40 people were wounded in the strikes on the town of Beit Lahiya, which was among the first targets of Israel’s ground invasion nearly a year ago.
The strikes came as the United States is investigating an unauthorized release of classified documents that assess Israel’s plans to attack Iran, according to three U.S. officials. A fourth U.S. official said the documents appear to be legitimate.
The documents, attributed to the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency and marked top secret, indicate that Israel was moving military assets in place to conduct a military strike in response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack on Oct. 1.
The U.S. officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
The U.S. is urging Israel to press for a cease-fire in Gaza following the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar last week. But neither Israel nor Hamas has shown any renewed interest in such a deal, after months of negotiations sputtered to a halt in August.
While the US tried to blame Hamas for the failed talks it was widely reported that Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu kept sabotaging the negotiations with last minute insists and poison demands that he knew Hamas couldn’t agree to no matter what. In fact some news reporting is so bias and slanted you would think it was written by Israel’s government ministers. Hugs
