TEHRAN- Israel’s killing machine operates relentlessly in the Gaza Strip as the death toll from its genocidal war on the Palestinian territory mounts.

An Israeli airstrike killed more than 100 Palestinians, including over two dozen children in northern Gaza late on Monday, according to medical sources in the enclave. 

The attack targeted a residential building in Beit Lahiya.

Reports suggest that up to 400 people were sleeping in the building at the time of the strike.  

Israel has killed more than 1,000 people in northern Gaza since launching a new offensive in the area on October 6 this year. 

Israel is forcibly displacing Palestinians from northern Gaza in line with its ethnic cleansing plans. The regime seeks to pave the way for settlers to move in. 

Meanwhile, the total death toll from Israel’s brutal offensive against the Gaza Strip which began in October last year has topped 43,000.
