Four children among five Palestinians killed in Israeli drone strike on Gaza

The Palestinian WAFA news agency reported on Sunday that four siblings, Yazan, 12, Amjad, 10, Muhannad, 7, and Mohammad Fahd Abu al-Khair, 6, were among the victims of the Israeli strike that hit their tent in Khan Yunis governorate.
Several people were also wounded in the attack and taken to the Nasser hospital, the report added.
On Saturday, Israel’s relentless bombardment killed at least 78 Palestinians across Gaza.
The Israeli strikes targeted, among others, a UN-run school and a residential building in Gaza City, as well as near an aid distribution point operated by the controversial Israel-US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in the southern Rafah governorate.
Also on Saturday, the Gaza Health Ministry said at least 743 Palestinians were killed and more than 4,891 others injured over the past few weeks while seeking assistance at GHF’s sites.
Last week, more than NGOs in a joint statement demanded the immediate closure of the GHF, saying the scheme is forcing two million people into “overcrowded, militarized zones where they face daily gunfire and mass casualties.”
“Today, Palestinians in Gaza face an impossible choice: starve or risk being shot while trying desperately to reach food to feed their families,” they added.

Israel unleashed its brutal Gaza onslaught on October 7, 2023, after Hamas carried out its historic operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
The Tel Aviv regime has so far failed to achieve its declared objectives of eliminating Hamas and freeing captives in Gaza, despite killing 57,338 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 135,957 others.
