******** strikes on northern Gaza Strip leave at least 87 ***** or missing – National

******** strikes on several homes in the northern Gaza Strip overnight left at least 87 people ***** or missing, the territory’s health ministry said Sunday.

Forty other people were injured in the strikes on the town of Beit Lahiya, which was one of the first targets of the ******** ground invasion nearly a year ago.

The strikes came as the ******* States investigates the unauthorized disclosure of classified documents assessing *******’s plans to ******* Iran, according to three U.S. officials. A fourth said the documents appeared legitimate.

The documents, attributed to the U.S. Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency and marked “top secret,” indicate that ******* is building military capabilities to carry out a military ******* in response to Iran’s October 1 ballistic missile *******.

The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

Mounir al-Bursh, director general of the Health Ministry, said the influx of wounded people following the strikes was worsening “an already catastrophic situation for the health care system” in the northern Gaza Strip, in a message posted on the social network X.

Internet connectivity was cut off in the northern Gaza Strip late Saturday and had not been restored by midday Sunday, making it difficult to gather information about the strikes.

For the past two weeks, ******* has been conducting a major operation in the Jabaliya urban ******** camp, also located in the northern Gaza Strip. The army claims to have launched the operation against ****** militants who had gathered there.

The north has already suffered the heaviest destruction of the war and has been surrounded by ******** forces since late last year, following ******’ deadly ******* on *******.

******* ordered the entire population of the northern third of the Gaza Strip, including Gaza City, to evacuate to the south in the first weeks of the war, and reiterated those instructions earlier this month. Most of the population fled last year, but an estimated 400,000 people remain in the north.

Palestinians who fled the north at the start of the war are still not allowed to return.
