Israeli Forces Kill Four People in Gaza, Including 6-Year-Old Girl

In Gaza, Israeli forces have killed four more people, including a child. Palestinian officials say an Israeli strike hit an apartment building in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, killing Omar Abu Qassem, his wife Asma and their 6-year-old daughter Habeeba. Their 3-year-old son Sami was injured. This is a relative of the family. Anas Abu Sahin: “This poor, innocent civilian family that has no connection to any military action is a neutral family who was sleeping. The children were sleeping in their mother’s lap. This is how innocent civilians are bombed on these nights, which are said to include a truce and peace.” Since last October’s so-called ceasefire, Israeli forces have killed more than 1,100 Palestinians in Gaza. www.democracynow.org
