An Israeli attack on a tent site in Gaza’s Deir el-Balah has killed three people, Hani Mahmoud of Al Jazeera reports.

“And in the northwest of Gaza City, a whole family is still missing and trapped under the rubble. The civil defence is doing its best to remove bodies from under the rubble but has only removed four of the family members,” the reporter added.

“It’s estimated there are at least 15 family members under the three-story building that was flattened to the ground,” Mahmoud said.

These repeated attacks deliberate against families — continue to unfold, causing more —tragedies among Palestinians, he concluded.
