A Palestinian infant and her mother were killed and several other people injured by Israeli artillery shelling that targeted their home in the central Gaza Strip, Anadolu reports.

“Medical teams received the bodies of the two martyrs, a baby and her mother, who were martyred as a result of Israeli shelling in the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza Strip,” a medical source at Al-Awda Hospital told Anadolu.

Inside the hospital, the grieving father was seen mourning his daughter and wife, lying on the floor, with his cries echoing around the room, saying: “They’re civilians. What did they ever do to anyone?”

“When I saw the shells falling on my house, I went to find my wife torn apart and my 8-month-old daughter in the street. She had fallen from the third floor due to the shelling,” the father told Anadolu.

“My daughter was born during the war. I never got to rejoice in her.”
