Israeli Airstrike Kills Three Family Members in Gaza Camp

An Israeli airstrike struck an apartment in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza early Sunday, killing three family members including a six-month-old child, health officials said. Medics identified the dead as Mohammad Abu Mallouh, his wife Alaa Zaqlan, and their child Osama. The same officials said roughly ten people were wounded in the strike.

Israel says its strikes target threats near the armistice line.

Hamas has not released casualty figures for its fighters. Israeli jets also carried out air raids on Deir el-Balah on Sunday, causing damage near a hospital, according to reporting from Gaza City.
