An Israeli air strike has killed six members of one family in Gaza City, according to local medics.<\/b><\/p>\n
Video footage showed the family’s apartment on fire overnight in the western al-Sabra neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
The brother of Firas al-Masri told the BBC that he had been burnt to death along with his wife, Salsabeel, and their three daughters and son, Faryal, Salma, Amira and Naim.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military said its target was a Hamas operative and that it was still looking into the results of the attack.<\/p>\n
According to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, at least 1,168 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect last October.<\/p>\n
Four Israeli soldiers have been killed in Palestinian attacks in Gaza over the same period.<\/p>\n
Following Tuesday’s strike in Gaza City, the UN’s human rights office condemned the recent intensification of Israeli military attacks in Gaza.<\/p>\n
Between 13 and 20 July, at least 57 Palestinians, including six children and eight women, were killed in strikes on residential buildings, a tent camp for displaced families, and other crowded areas, spokesman Thameen Al-Kheetan said.<\/p>\n
Thirty-four of those people were “killed far away” from the so-called Yellow Line, which marks territory in Gaza controlled by Israeli forces, he added.<\/p>\n
“Nine months after the announcement of a ceasefire, still, nowhere is safe for Palestinians in Gaza,” Al-Kheetan said.<\/p>\n
He also warned that the killing of civilians “raises concerns of continuing violations of international humanitarian law, war crimes and other possible atrocity crimes in Gaza”.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military recently announced a series of attacks targeting members of Palestinian armed groups, who it says were involved in the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage.<\/p>\n
Israel responded by launching a massive military campaign in Gaza, during which more than 73,290 people have been killed, according to the territory’s health ministry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
