Hamas claims Gaza baby killed in Israeli strike; IDF says it’s only hitting military sites
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Palestinian baby was killed by an Israeli strike in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, the Hamas-run health ministry in the enclave says.
The ministry said “baby Sabaa Arar, aged one year and two months, was killed and her mother, who is pregnant, was seriously injured” when their house was hit in one of the Israeli strikes that came in response to dozens of Gaza rockets fired at Israel.
An Israeli army spokeswoman says the military does not have any information on the incident. The army says it is targeting only military sites in its response to the rocket fire.
The Gaza health ministry adds that a total of two people have been killed and 18 injured since this morning in the Israeli strikes.
