Israeli strikes on multiple homes in the northern Gaza Strip overnight and into Sunday have left at least 87 people dead or missing, the territory’s Health Ministry said.

It said another 40 people were injured in the strikes on the town of Beit Lahiya, which was among the first targets of Israel’s ground invasion nearly a year ago.
