An Israeli air strike in Gaza City killed six members of the same family, according to medics, in an incident that has drawn fresh attention to the toll of the conflict on civilians.
The dead were identified in the BBC World feed summary as Firas al-Masri, his wife, and their four children. The report said the strike hit the family in Gaza City.
The Israeli military said the attack was aimed at a Hamas operative, according to the same summary. No further details were included in the feed about the timing of the strike, the condition of the area where it occurred, or whether any other people were reported wounded.
The incident comes amid continuing Israeli military operations in Gaza, where air strikes have repeatedly caused civilian casualties and destroyed homes and other buildings. In this case, the reported death of an entire family has added to the broader human cost of the fighting.
