Israeli Strike on Gaza Health Center Kills Children, Sparking Outrage
An Israeli strike in Deir Al Balah, Gaza, resulted in the deaths of 15 people, including women and children, who were gathered outside a health center. The Israeli military stated it was targeting a Hamas militant involved in the October 7 attacks, while also acknowledging reports of injuries and stating the incident is under review. Medical staff and aid organizations, including Project HOPE, reported the clinic’s location had been shared with the Israeli military. Despite a partial lifting of the blockade, access to aid and medicine remains limited, with health officials reporting widespread suffering in Gaza.
