What happened

Israeli attack on Gaza kills three family members, including infant Mohammad Abu Mallouh, Alaa Zaqlan and their child, Osama, killed in the attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp, medics say.

Why it matters

An Israeli air raid on a home in Gaza has killed three members of a family, including a six-month-old child, medical workers said, as Israel continues to violate the “ceasefire” brokered by the United States last year.

Common ground

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza said it received the bodies of a couple and their young child in the early hours of Sunday morning.
