Father and His Two Children Among Five Palestinians Killed in Israeli Strike on Gaza Tent Camp
Gaza (QNN)- Five Palestinians, including a father and his two sons, were killed and several others injured in a deadly Israeli attack on tents sheltering displaced families in southern Gaza on Wednesday night, in yet another violation of the ceasefire agreement.
According to medics at the Kuwait Field Hospital, the Israeli strikes hit the Najaat camp, a cluster of tents that has sheltered hundreds of displaced families in Gaza's al-Mawasi area,
killing two women aged 46 and 30, a 36-year-old father, and his two sons, aged eight and 10. Some 32 injured people were treated in hospital, the medics said.

“Five citizens, including two children, killed and others injured, some seriously, as a result of an Israeli missile strike” in al-Mawasi, said civil defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal.
Some of the victims were severely burned, local sources said.
Hamas condemned the al-Mawasi attack, describing it as a “war crime” that demonstrated Israel’s “disregard to the ceasefire agreement”. The Palestinian group demanded mediators – Egypt, Qatar and the US – restrain the Israeli military.
The Israeli military claimed it had "struck a Hamas terrorist" after five of its soldiers were wounded earlier on Wednesday. Israel has repeatedly violated the ceasefire which took effect in early October while using false accusations to justify the attacks.
According to authorities in Gaza, Israel has violated the ceasefire at least 591 times since October 10, killing at least 360 Palestinians and wounding 922 others.
