Father, mother, their three daughters and son killed in Israeli airstrike in Gaza

A family of six have been killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza.

Firas al Masri, his wife, Salsabeel, and their three daughters ​and son died after their home in Gaza City was set ablaze on Tuesday, health officials have said.

The Israeli military confirmed the strike but said its target was a Hamas militant, adding that it was still ​looking into the result of the attack.

In separate strikes since Friday, the IDF says it has killed three militants ​from Hamas and Islamic Jihad, two of ⁠whom had taken part in ⁠the 7 October attack on Israel and had held Israeli hostages seized ‌in the assault.

A truce between Israel and Hamas dating back to October remains officially in place, but it has not stopped near-daily strikes on Gaza.

More than 1,150 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire took effect, according to officials in Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry.

Nearly all of Gaza's two million population now live on a tiny strip of land along the coast, mainly in makeshift tents or damaged buildings.

The war began when Hamas stormed into Israel on 7 October 2023, killing around 1,200 people and taking 251 hostage.

Israel's subsequent offensive has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians, according to ⁠Gaza health officials.
