An air strike targeting a residential home in Deir el-Balah killed four people and wounded several others, Al Jazeera reports.

Resident Khalil al-Dibji said everyone nearby was “screaming and crying” when the Israeli attack took place.

“The place was full with dust and I could no longer see anything clearly,” he told Al Jazeera. “I started looking for my children. My eldest daughter was fine and I was able to save the two younger boys. My other daughter was rescued from under the rubble.”

Al-Dibji said he thought his wife had been killed because of the amount of debris piled on top of her, but she managed to survive. “My question is why [do] the Israelis kill civilians? We are civilians and there is no resistance here.”
