Israeli airstrike kills 18 from same family in central Gaza

The strike during the early hours of yesterday hit a house and an adjacent warehouse sheltering people at the entrance of the town of Zawaida, according to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. One of those killed has been named as Sami Jawad al-Ejlah, who reportedly coordinated with the Israeli military to bring meat and fish into Gaza.

The dead also included his two wives, 11 of their children aged two to 22, the children's grandmother and three other relatives, according to a fatality list provided by the hospital. "He was a peaceful man," said Abu Ahmed, a neighbour who was slightly wounded in the attack.
