Israeli strike kills family of five, Palestinians say
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli air strike hit a house in central Gaza before dawn on Saturday killing five family members, including two women and two children, Palestinian medics say.
Emergency services initially said three people were killed and five wounded, but later announced that two people had died of their injuries after the attack in al-Zawayda near the Nusseirat refugee camp.
The air raid hit a family home, witnesses and medics say. Doctors at the al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah say the five dead all came from the same family — a 28-year-old father, his 26-year-old wife and their two boys aged three and four. The father’s 45-year-old aunt was also killed, they say.
