Palestinian medical sources reported that four Palestinians from the same family were killed in an Israeli strike on a home in the Beit Lahia Project area of northern Gaza on Thursday. The bodies were taken to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, where medical staff identified the victims as members of the Ahmed family, including two girls aged 8 and 12.
Several other people were injured in the strike, and some remained missing under the rubble, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA. Israeli forces also shelled areas east of Gaza City, and Israeli naval boats opened heavy fire off the coast of Khan Younis and toward areas east of the central Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the reports, but according to Agence France-Presse, it opened an inquiry into the case. A Palestinian security source said Israeli jets launched two airstrikes after midnight targeting Beit Lahia and the Jabalia refugee camp, and that soldiers also shelled tents housing displaced Palestinians and ambulances.
Despite the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that has been in effect since October, Israeli forces continue to carry out strikes. Palestinian authorities in Gaza say Israel has killed more than 1,300 people since the truce began. The overall death toll from the war has reached 73,669, with 174,652 injured, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The latest reported figures for this incident are four deaths and several injuries, but no precise injury count was given. Residents said some families received phone calls from Israeli military representatives ordering them to leave areas before strikes, while others were forced to flee again after their tents were damaged.
