Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Israeli Missile Strikes Gaza Water Collection, Killing Children, IDF Blames Malfunction
Caption: Israeli Missile Strikes Gaza Water Collection, Killing Children, IDF Blames Malfunction. At least eight Palestinians, including six children, were killed in central Gaza on Sunday by an Israeli missile strike. The Israeli military claimed the missile missed its intended target, an Islamic Jihad militant, due to a malfunction. The strike hit a water distribution point in Nuseirat refugee camp, injuring 17 others, many of them children. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) expressed regret for the civilian casualties and stated the incident was under review. Water shortages in Gaza have worsened, exacerbated by fuel shortages that have closed desalination and sanitation facilities. Hours after the water collection strike, 12 more people, including a prominent hospital consultant, were killed in an Israeli strike on a Gaza City market. Gaza’s health ministry reported more than 58,000 deaths since the war began in October 2023, with over half of the victims being women and children. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff expressed hope for progress in Gaza ceasefire talks, though negotiations have stalled. Israeli airstrikes have displaced nearly all of Gaza's 2 million residents, with many fleeing to areas still being hit by strikes.
