An Israeli strike targeted a tent sheltering a displaced family in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of at least three individuals, including the parents of twins, as reported by Palestinian medical officials. The strike, which occurred late Sunday in the Nuseirat urban refugee camp, also left two children, aged 10, with severe injuries. The injured children were promptly taken to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah for treatment. The Israeli military maintains that its operations solely target militants and alleges that they often hide among civilians.
The strike caused injuries to at least 24 individuals, who were subsequently transported to Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat for medical attention, according to Mohamed Muhareb, the head of the hospital's ambulance service. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which began after militants breached Israeli borders on October 7, 2023, has resulted in significant casualties on both sides. Palestinian health officials report that over 43,000 individuals have lost their lives in Gaza, with more than half of the fatalities being women and children.
