An Israeli airstrike on a funeral in the central Gaza Strip on Friday killed at least seven people and wounded 22, according to Awda Hospital in the Nuseirat refugee camp. The Israeli military stated it targeted a Palestinian Islamic Jihad base and was aware of potential civilian harm. The funeral was for a Palestinian killed in an earlier Israeli strike that day, which the military said targeted a Hamas member. Separately, five additional people, including two women, died in other Israeli strikes and gunfire across Gaza.
Hamas called the strike on the funeral "a heinous crime."
This incident occurred despite an October ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which has seen 1,123 deaths in Gaza since its implementation. Israel attributes its strikes to Hamas's ceasefire violations, while an independent monitoring group reported 40 Israeli attacks in June, the highest monthly total since the ceasefire began.
