STORYLINE:
At least seven people were killed after an Israeli strike hit a group of people walking down a busy street in central Gaza on Tuesday.
Two children and a woman were among those who died in the attack on Berka Street in Deir al-Balah, according to Al-Aqsa Hospital officials.
Reporters from The Associated Press counted at least seven dead bodies that were taken to the hospital, as well as more than 20 others who suffered severe injuries.
Footage filmed at the hospital showed people rushing bodies and injured people into the medical facility as others gathered and cried.
Some injured patients were seen being treated on the floor of the hospital’s emergency department.
The war in Gaza started when Hamas-led militants burst through Israel’s defences on Oct. 7 and rampaged across the south, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 250 people hostage.
Over 100 hostages were released in exchange for Palestinians imprisoned in Israel during last year’s cease-fire.
Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed over 40,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count.
The air and ground offensive has caused widespread destruction and forced the vast majority of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents to flee their homes, often multiple times.
