Israeli strikes kill whole Gaza family furthering ceasefire collapse
Airstrike on refugee camp apartment leaves parents and infant dead as civilian toll mounts under ongoing truce violations
GAZA, Palestine (MNTV) — An Israeli airstrike on a residential apartment in central Gaza killed three members of a single family, including a six-month-old infant, in an attack that has intensified criticism of Israel’s continued genocide despite an ongoing ceasefire framework.
Health officials in the Nuseirat refugee camp said the strike killed Mohammad Abu Mallouh, his wife Alaa Zaqlan, and their infant son Osama after their home was hit while they were sleeping.
A relative said the family had no warning before the explosion, describing the scene as catastrophic and leaving behind multiple surviving children.
In a separate incident later the same day, Palestinian medics said Israeli gunfire killed another man near a UN-run clinic in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on either incident.
The killings come amid what rights groups and local officials describe as repeated violations of a fragile ceasefire arrangement brokered by US President Donald Trump, which has failed to halt ongoing Israeli military strikes in the enclave.
Relatives of the victims gathered at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, where bodies wrapped in white shrouds were brought for burial. Family members said the strike destroyed an entire household in seconds, with no evacuation warning issued.
Israel has recently resumed issuing evacuation orders in parts of Gaza, though residents say many strikes continue without prior notice, deepening fears among civilians trapped in densely populated areas.
Since the ceasefire agreement, Gaza health authorities say hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in continued Israeli attacks.
The renewed violence underscores the collapse of diplomatic efforts to stabilize the enclave, with accusations mounting against Israeli forces over brutal use of force and growing concern over the humanitarian toll of civilians.
