The army also fired a missile at a home for the Midwekh family in the Sahaba area in the Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City, killing five Palestinians and wounding many others.
Medical sources said two journalists, Sa’adi Midwekh and Ahmad Sukkar, were killed in the Midwekh family home bombing.
The assassination of the two journalists brings the number of slain reporters and media workers since October 7, 2023, to 159.

In addition, five Palestinians were killed, and many were injured when the army fired missiles at homes in the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City.

Parents and children were seen amidst the chaos, looking for their loved ones, hoping to find surviving family members amidst the massive destruction and the rubble.
In Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the army fired a missile at a Palestinian home, killing six Palestinians, including children, from the same family, in the eastern part of the city.
Al-Jazeera Arabic has reported that the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said its fighters managed to ambush and kill ten Israeli soldiers, in two separate attacks, in Gaza City’s Sheja’eyya neighborhood.
In a report, Al-Jazeera English said, “As Palestinians in Gaza continue to face forced displacement by Israeli forces, the Associated Press news agency captured photos of streets flooded with sewage in the southern city of Khan Younis.”
It added that human Rights groups and health advocates have repeatedly warned that “unsanitary conditions due to displacement and Israeli bombardment could contribute to the spread of diseases in Gaza.”
Israel has now killed at least 38.011 Palestinians, including at least 15.919 children and 10.519 women, and injured more than 87.445, mostly children, women, and elderly, in addition to the thousands (approximately 10.000) who remain missing, largely buried under the rubble of bombarded homes and buildings, on streets and destroyed alleys, across the coastal enclave, since October 7, 2023.
