Tragedy in Gaza: Israeli Strike Misses Target, Hits Water Point

An Israeli military strike intended for an Islamic Jihad militant tragically missed its target, striking a water distribution point in central Gaza.

The attack resulted in the deaths of at least eight Palestinians, including six children, and injured over a dozen others. Israeli forces stated that a technical malfunction caused the missile to deviate from its planned trajectory, leading to civilian casualties.

The incident highlights the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, marked by severe water and fuel shortages amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
