Israeli fire kills parents and their baby in Gaza refugee camp, officials say

Israeli airstrikes on a refugee camp in central Gaza on Sunday resulted in the deaths of a father, mother, and their six-month-old infant in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Medical officials identified the deceased as Mohammad Abu Mallouh, Alaa Zaqlan, and their child, Osama. Later the same day, Israeli gunfire near a UN-run clinic in the Jabalia refugee camp killed another Palestinian man. The Israeli military had not immediately commented on these incidents. The infant's grandmother described the family being killed in their bed, leaving behind six daughters. This comes as Israel has resumed issuing evacuation orders in the Gaza Strip.
