Israeli Airstrike in Gaza Kills Family of Three Including Infant
May 2026 | By Azad News
An Israeli airstrike targeting an apartment in Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp reportedly killed three members of the same family, including a six-month-old baby, according to local health officials.
Medical teams identified the victims as Mohammad Abu Mallouh, his wife Alaa Zaqlan, and their infant son Osama. The strike took place late Sunday in the central area of the Gaza Strip.
Witnesses and relatives described scenes of devastation as family members gathered at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah to mourn the victims.
The child’s grandmother said the family was asleep inside their home when the strike occurred, leaving behind six young daughters who survived the incident.
Relatives claimed there had been no evacuation warning before the attack. Family members said they woke up to a loud explosion and later discovered the apartment had been destroyed.
Later the same day, Palestinian medical sources also reported that a man was killed by Israeli gunfire near a United Nations-run medical clinic in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
Israel has recently resumed issuing evacuation notices across parts of Gaza following a period of relative calm after the October ceasefire agreement.
The ceasefire, brokered with international mediation efforts, has faced repeated challenges as indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas remain stalled over key issues.
According to Gaza health authorities, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed since the truce began, although the figures do not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
Conclusion
The latest violence highlights the fragile nature of the Gaza ceasefire and the ongoing humanitarian crisis affecting civilians across the region amid continued conflict and stalled negotiations.
