The withdrawal of the Israeli occupation from some areas of the town of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip revealed massive destruction in homes, infrastructure, and civil and service facilities, and large numbers of bodies were found in the streets, run over by tanks.
Quoting eyewitnesses, the Anadolu Agency correspondent reported that a state of cautious calm prevailed in several areas in the northern Gaza Strip, coinciding with the return of large numbers of displaced people in the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, west of Gaza City, to the northern Gaza Strip, especially the towns of Beit Lahia, Jabalia, and Beit Hanoun.
He explained that Israeli military vehicles are still on the outskirts of these towns, and there are a large number of martyrs’ bodies in the streets that were run over by tanks.
Several areas in the northern Gaza Strip were subjected to intense Israeli bombing during the past days, especially the Beit Lahia project area and its surrounding areas, resulting in the death of more than 50 martyrs in the bombing of a residential square belonging to the families of Khair al-Din, al-Kurd, al-Mughrabi, and Khalif, according to the spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra.
