The tragic incident occurred during ongoing military operations in the region, which have intensified in recent days. Witnesses say the strike targeted a residential building where the family had sought shelter. The children, ranging in age from infants to teenagers, were pronounced dead upon arrival at a nearby hospital.
Medical staff at the hospital described the scene as heartbreaking, with emergency rooms overwhelmed and medical supplies running dangerously low. The doctor, who was reportedly on duty treating other patients at the time of the strike, returned to find his home destroyed and family lost.
This incident adds to the growing toll on civilians as the conflict continues, drawing widespread grief and condemnation. Residents in Gaza have voiced increasing concern for their safety, with many families displaced and seeking refuge in overcrowded shelters.
