US EditionIsrael: ‘Malfunction’ to Blame for Fatal Strike on Children Collecting Water in Gaza
GAZA STRIP, JUL 14 – The Israeli military said a technical malfunction caused the missile to miss its target and hit a water point, killing eight civilians amid severe Gaza water shortages, officials reported.
- On Sunday, the Israel Defence Forces accidentally targeted a water distribution site located within the Nuseirat refugee camp area in central Gaza, resulting in the deaths of eight civilians, the majority of whom were children.
- The strike took place during intense water shortages caused by fuel deficits that forced desalination and sanitation services to halt operations, leaving residents dependent on limited water collection sites.
- The Israeli military attributed the incident to a technical malfunction that caused the missile to miss its intended target, an Islamic Jihad militant, and the IDF expressed regret over civilian harm.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated Israel's core demands including releasing all hostages, destroying Hamas, and ensuring Gaza poses no future threat, while ceasefire talks in Qatar have stalled.
- The strike, part of ongoing conflict that began in October 2023 with over 58,000 killed in Gaza, underscores worsening humanitarian conditions and complicates prospects for a ceasefire agreement.
