Israeli missile kills mother, her 2 children in northern Gaza

GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – A Palestinian woman and her two children were killed in an Israeli missile attack in the northern town of Beit Lahia on Wednesday, a medical source said.

The attack targeted the family outside the gate of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the town, the source added.

Witnesses said that an Israeli drone fired a missile into the family outside the medical facility.

Since Oct. 5, Israel has launched a large-scale ground operation in northern Gaza to allegedly prevent the Palestinian resistance group Hamas from regrouping. Palestinians, however, accuse Israel of seeking to occupy the area and forcibly displace its residents.

Since then, almost no humanitarian aid, including food, medicine, and fuel, has been allowed into the area, leaving the remaining population in the area on the verge of famine.

Nearly 4,000 people have since been killed in northern Gaza, according to Palestinian health authorities.

The assault was the latest episode in a genocidal war launched by Israel on Gaza since a Hamas attack last year, killing more than 44,800 people, mostly women and children.

Last month, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.
