An Israel airstrike in Gaza has killed at least 18 people from the same family, even as mediators expressed optimism for an imminent ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas after 10 months of war.
The airstrike on Saturday hit a house and adjacent warehouse sheltering displaced people at the entrance to the town of Zawaida, according to al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital in Deir al-Balah, to where casualties were taken. An Associated Press reporter there counted the dead.
Among those killed was Sami Jawad al-Ejlah, a wholesaler who coordinated with the Israeli military to bring meat and fish to Gaza. The dead also included his two wives, 11 of their children aged two to 22, a grandmother to the children, and three other relatives, according to a list provided by the hospital.
Omar al-Dreemli, a relative, said: We are in the morgue seeing indescribable scenes of limbs and severed heads and children who are dismembered.

(1,840 posts)Bringing meat and fish into Gaza and hosting "terrorist infrastructure" in his meat warehouse. Quite possible and quite a message to any other businessman in that line of work. /S
But you'd think Israel's precision targeting would spare the house with his family next door. Unless of course Israel's Where's Daddy? AI was at work.
If they can't have meat, let the children of Gaza scrounge in the rubble for cake.
