More than 40 people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit a cafe near the port in Gaza City, according to the head of the territory’s largest hospital.

The cafe, one of the few businesses to continue operating during the 20-month war, was a gathering spot for residents seeking internet access and a place to charge their phones.

Army says it worked to limit harm to civilians in strike; Hamas-linked authorities say 51 killed across Strip, including 11 near aid site, as IDF reports 140 strikes over 24 hours
