On 31 October 2023, the Israel Defense Forces struck a residential building in the Gaza Strip during its operations in Gaza in the Gaza war, killing at least 106 people, including 54 children. Human Rights Watch said there was no evidence of any military targets in the area at the time of the attack, making the strike an apparent war crime.
