An Israeli airstrike in central Gaza before dawn has killed three people, including a one-year-old child, a Palestinian hospital reports. Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital, based in Deir el-Balah, says it received the bodies of a couple and their infant after the strike hit a residential apartment in the Al-Nuseirat camp. The accounts describe the incident as occurring in Gaza City’s central area on Sunday.
The reports note that violence continues in Gaza despite a formal ceasefire, which is said to be in place since October. They also state that both Israel’s military and Hamas accuse each other of violating the truce. The hospital’s statement is the primary source of information on casualties and the victims’ identities as described in the reports.
No additional details about responsibility beyond the claim of an “Israeli strike” are provided in the excerpts, and the reports do not include independent verification of the hospital’s account.
