STORYLINE:
An Israeli strike on central Gaza early Saturday killed at least 18 people including a family of 15 members, hospital authorities said.
The strike hit a house and an adjacent warehouse sheltering displaced people at the entrance of the town of Zawaida, according to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital where the casualties were taken.
An Associated Press employee at the hospital in the town of Deir al-Balah counted the fatalities as ambulances brought them to the medical facility.
The dead included a meat wholesaler, his two wives, 11 of their children, whose ages range between two to 22, according to a fatality list provided by the hospital.
The children’s grandmother and three other relatives were also killed in the strike, the list showed.
The wholesaler is identified as Sami Jawad al-Agalah, who coordinated with the Israeli military to bring meat to Gaza.
There were more than 40 civilian people including many women and children sheltering in the house and the warehouse that had been flattened in the strike, Abu Ahmed, a neighbor who was slightly wounded in the attack, said in an interview.
“Abu Jawad is a well-known wholesaler who brings meat and fish from inside Israel. He is known inside Israel,” he said as people and a bulldozer were searching and removing the rubble.
“He was a peaceful man,” he added.
Associated Press footage showed a vastly damaged warehouse and trucks that Abu Ahmed said were used to bring meat and fish from Israel.
