Israel has conducted a number of aerial attacks on Gaza Strip martyring at least one Palestinian and wounding over a dozen others including seven children.
The overnight raid destroyed a house in eastern Gaza City that resulted in the martyrdom of Bahjat al-Zaalan, 37, and injured many of his family members, more than half of them children, emergency services spokesman Adham Abu Selmiya said. Two of the wounded children are in critical condition, hospital officials said.
The strike caused the home to collapse, and several other houses nearby were also partly destroyed or burned. The Israeli military claimed that the strike was allegedly targeting a Hamas training ground nearby expressing “regret” that civilians were killed.
The Israeli military initially issued a statement that only confirmed it carried out two raids on “terror activity sites.” But a Zionist spokeswoman later expressed “regret” that civilians were hurt, while noting that “additional explosions at the sites were caused by rockets stored near the targeted terror activity sites.”
Two Palestinians were killed by another Israeli attack in Gaza on Wednesday.
