An Israeli airstrike targeting a funeral in Nuseirat, central Gaza Strip, resulted in the death of at least eight Palestinians and injuring 20 others, according to local health officials.
The attack took place during a funeral for a victim of an earlier strike, intensifying the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Hamas labeled the attack a 'brutal massacre' and urged the United Nations to intervene.
The Israeli military claimed the strike targeted an Islamic Jihad cell, acknowledging potential harm to civilians, despite a ceasefire in place since October. The violence has persisted, leading to significant casualties on both sides.
