Gaza officials say the children were killed on strike as Israeli military recognizes “mistake”

Ten people, including six children, were killed in an Israeli air strike while waiting to fill water containers in a central gas on Sunday, said Emergency Service officials.

Their bodies were sent to Nusherat’s Al-Auda Hospital, which also cures 16 injured people, including seven children, a doctor said there.

Eyewitnesses said a A drone fired a rocket at a crowd with empty Jerry boxes to a water tanker at Al Nusherat’s refugee camp.

The Israeli military said there was a “technical mistake” with a strike aimed at Islamic jihad, a “terrorist”, which made the ammunition fall tens of meters from the target. The incident is under review, the military added.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said they were aware of “the claim of victims in the area as a result,” adding that it was working to mitigate the civic harm “as much as possible” and “regrets any harm to the non -included civilians”.

The video of the consequences shows dozens of people who rush to help injured people, including children lying among yellow cans.

BBC Verify was able to determine the location by comparing it with the position of nearby roofs, trees and telegraph poles.

It was filmed around 08:00 local time, passing with shadows, on the road of about 80 m (262 feet) southwest of Nuseira Junior High School. The site itself is two buildings together from another building listed online as a kindergarten.

The satellite images from three weeks ago show a tanker truck parked on the other side of the street.

The video cannot be determined what has hit the place and, if it is a malfunction in Israeli ammunition, from which direction it was fired.

The impact came when Israeli air attacks through the Gaza Strip were escalated.

A spokesman for the Gaza Civil Protection Agency said 19 other Palestinians were killed on Sunday, with three separate strikes in residential buildings in Central Gaza and Gaza.

Separately, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICC) said he had treated more cases of mass victims at his field hospital in Rafa in South Gaza in the last six weeks than in the 12th months before.

It states that his field hospital in Rafa received 132 patients “suffering from weapons -related injuries” on Saturday, 31 of whom died.

Patient’s “majority” had firearms, she added, and “all responsive individuals” reported that they were trying to gain access to food distribution sites.

It states that the hospital has treated more than 3,400 weapons patients and registered more than 250 deaths, as new food distribution sites are open on May 27 – exceeding “all cases of mass cases treated in the hospital” in the previous year.

“The worrying frequency and scale of these massive casualties emphasize the horrific conditions that Gaza civilians are lasting,” ICC said.

On Saturday, the Nasser Hospital in South Gaza said 24 people were killed near a place to distribute helpWhere witnesses said Israeli troops had opened fire while people were trying to access food.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said there were “no” known wounded persons from a fire on the IDF near the site. A separate Israeli military official said the warning shots had been fired to scatter people who IDF believes were a threat.

The UN Human Rights Service said on Friday that it has so far recorded 789 assistance killings.

It says that of these 615 are close to the humanitarian foundation of the United States and Israel, located on Gaza’s sites (GHF), which opened on May 27 and operated by private security contractors in the military zones in southern and central gas.

The remaining 183 murders were recorded near the UN convoys and other auxiliary convoys.

The Israeli military said they admitted that there were incidents where the civilians were hurt and that it was working to minimize “possible rubbing between the population and the (Israeli) forces as much as possible.”

GHF has accused the UN of using “fake and misleading” statistics from the Gaza Hamas Ministry of Health.

Ghf boss Johnny Moore Early said to the BBC He did not deny the deaths near the objects for help, but said that “100% of these victims are attributed to the proximity to GHF” and this is “not true”.

Israel does not allow international news organizations, including the BBC, in Gaza.

Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to Hamas’s cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 others were hostage.

Since then, at least 57,882 people have been killed in Gaza, according to Hamas Health Ministry.

The greater part of the Gaza population has been displaced many times.

More than 90% of homes are estimated to be damaged or destroyed. Health, water, sanitary and hygiene systems have collapsed and there is a shortage of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.

This week, for the first time in 130 days, 75,000 liters of fuel were allowed in Gaza – “far enough to meet the daily needs of the population and vital civil care operations,” the United Nations said.

Nine UN agencies warned on Saturday that gas shortage has reached “critical levels” and if the fuel expires, it will affect hospitals, water systems, sanitary networks and bakeries.

“Hospitals are already trampling, the maternity ward, neonatal and intense treatment fail, and the ambulances can no longer move,” the UN said.
