Israeli airstrike kills two Palestinians, including child, in central Gaza
Two Palestinians, one a three-year-old child, were killed in an Israeli airstrike near Deir Al-Balah, Gaza health officials said.
An Israeli airstrike struck central Gaza on Tuesday, resulting in the deaths of two Palestinians, one of whom was a three-year-old child, according to Gaza health officials. The attack targeted a bakery in the Deir Al-Balah area, claiming the lives of Hossam Nasir, a man involved in assaults on Israeli forces and civilians, and his young son, Tim Hamdan.
Several other individuals sustained injuries and were transported to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The Israeli military asserted that the strike was conducted to eliminate a Hamas operative, corroborating that Nasir had engaged in hostile activities. Despite this, Hamas has yet to release a statement regarding the incident. Since the ceasefire was implemented last October, Gaza health authorities report that approximately 1,300 Palestinians have lost their lives.
