CAIRO (AP) — At least 12 Palestinians, including two boys, a pregnant woman and eight police officers, were killed Sunday by Israeli airstrikes in the war-torn Gaza Strip, hospital authorities said.

A strike Sunday morning hit a house in the urban refugee camp of Nuseirat in central Gaza and killed four people, including a couple in their 30s and their 10-year son, according to the nearby Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The woman had been pregnant with twins, the hospital said.

The fourth fatality, a 15-year-old neighbor, was taken to the Awda hospital in Nuseirat.

“We were sleeping and got up to the strike of a missile. The strike was strong,” said Mahmoud al-Muhtaseb, a neighbor. “There was no prior warning.”

How many thousands of innocent children is that by now? Is there any wonder Trump/Hegseth don't seem to feel any compunction to explain how more than 150 Iranian school girls were killed by our own bombs?

Netanyahu has not been on the scene for two weeks. He is rumored to be dead. He cannot fly in the airspace of five Nordic countries, and rumor has it that he’s spending 90% of the time flying. Iran announced it will not accept ceasefire until US and its assets are out of the Middle East. Tel Aviv is getting walloped by new Iranian hypersonic missiles. Israelis with dual citizenship are trying to escape Israel. Hope Trump gets tired of winning soon.

‘We killed dogs’: Israeli troops kill two children, parents in West Bank
Each person shot in the head in the village of Tammun, while two other children of the deceased couple sustain injuries.

Israeli forces have killed a Palestinian couple and two of their children as they drove in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian health authorities, with the Israeli military saying the incident is under review.

Ali Khaled Bani Odeh, 37, his 35-year-old wife Waad, and two of their children – Mohammad and Othman, aged five and seven, respectively – were shot in the head in the village of Tammun on Sunday. Two of their other children were wounded by shrapnel, according to Palestinian health authorities.

Speaking to the Reuters news agency at the hospital, Khaled, 12, one of the two surviving boys, said he heard his mother crying, his father praying, but no voice of any of his other brothers before silence prevailed after shots sprayed the car.

“We came under direct fire; we didn’t know the source. Everyone in the car was ⁠martyred, except my brother Mustafa and me,” the boy said.
He said soldiers, who ⁠pulled him out of the vehicle before beating him, shouted: “We killed dogs.”
