An Israeli airstrike in Gaza kills a man and his teenage daughter, medics say. Health officials report the strike hits a vehicle in western Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of Youssef Akila and his daughter, Wafaa, along with injuries to others.
Reuters and Al-Monitor cite statements from Mohamed Abu Selmia, head of Al Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s largest medical facility. He says six people are wounded in the incident, but details about the victims’ circumstances and the exact circumstances of the strike remain limited in the available reporting.
The Israeli military does not immediately comment on the incident in the Reuters account. Neither source provides an immediate alternative explanation or additional findings, and the report does not include information on accountability or any subsequent response beyond the initial medical reports.
