Family, including two daughters, killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza

Israel has repeatedly violated the October ceasefire brokered by the US.

At least 10 people, including four from one family, have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza.

An overnight Israeli strike at around 2:00 am on Saturday (23:00 GMT Friday) hit a building on al-Thalatini Street, a residential area in Gaza City, medical sources told the Wafa news agency.

Among those killed were a father and his two daughters – four-year-old Zina and 14-year-old Lana. The mother was wounded and died later on Saturday. Several others were injured.

“I was sitting at home. The rocket fell on us without a warning,” said their relative Mohammad Safadi, who had a forehead wound. He said both he and his wife were wounded in the attack.

“This ceasefire the occupation and the negotiation team speak of … is this really a ceasefire? We are civilians. I never held a weapon,” Safadi said.

“The area had not received any prior warning before the strikes,” said Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Abuo Azzum, reporting from Gaza. “This is a grim reality that’s growing day in, day out.”

Elsewhere, in central Gaza’s Bureij camp, an Israeli attack killed two people, including Al Jazeera Mubasher cameraman Ahmed Wishah, according to Al Jazeera correspondents on the ground.

Earlier in the day, a Palestinian woman was killed by Israeli gunfire in the northern Beit Lahia area, a medical source told the Anadolu agency.

In another incident, a Palestinian man was killed and a woman was moderately injured after an Israeli drone strike targeted pedestrians near al-Saftawi roundabout in northern Gaza City, witnesses said.

An elderly Palestinian was also killed by Israeli naval fire that targeted tents sheltering displaced people to the west of Gaza City, while another person was killed and seven others injured by a drone strike to the west of Khan Younis, according to Anadolu.

Since a ceasefire brokered by the United States in October, at least 1,007 people in Gaza have been killed while 3,165 others have been wounded, according to health authorities.

At least 73,018 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war in October 2023.

Israel restricts the entry of food, medical aid and shelter materials into Gaza, where about 2.2 million people have acute humanitarian needs. Israel’s military also continues to occupy large swaths of Gaza.
