Israeli airstrike on tent in Gaza kills 2 family members, injures 2 others

A man and his wife were killed and their two children injured in an Israeli airstrike Sunday in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

"The bodies of two martyrs -- a man and his wife -- were received as a result of the Israeli bombing of a tent camp housing displaced people,” said a medical source at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

Al-Awda Hospital reported receiving the two injured children.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that the Israeli bombing targeted a tent in the Sawarha area of the camp, destroying it along with several nearby tents.

Israel has continued its devastating offensive on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7 last year. The onslaught has killed more than 43,600 people and rendered the enclave almost uninhabitable.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in the blockaded enclave.
