At least 15 Palestinians were killed Thursday afternoon in an Israeli airstrike on the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources said.

Iran Press/West Asia: According to local sources and eyewitnesses, a residential house in the town of Beit Lahia was targeted by Israeli warplanes. Mahmoud Basal, spokesman for Civil Defense in Gaza, reported that the airstrike resulted in the deaths of 15 individuals, including children and women.

Also on Thursday, the General Directorate of Civil Defense in Gaza warned of a possible suspension of services and humanitarian interventions it provides to displaced citizens residing in what was designated by the Israeli army as a "humanitarian area" in southern Gaza.

Muhammad Al-Mughair, director of supply for Civil Defense in Gaza, said in a press statement that the Civil Defense is suffering from a crisis due to fuel shortage in the "humanitarian area," warning that the continued prevention of fuel supply threatens the lives of thousands of displaced people.

The Israeli regime has been launching a large-scale offensive  in Gaza. The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has risen to 44,580, Gaza-based health authorities said in a statement on Thursday. 219
