Israel Strikes Funeral Procession in Gaza, Killing 8

The Israeli military carried out an airstrike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip on July 17 (local time), leaving 8 Palestinians dead and 20 injured, according to reports from the WAFA news agency and others.

The local Al-Awda Hospital stated that the strike targeted people participating in a funeral procession, as reported by the Associated Press.

The funeral was held to mourn a person who had been killed in an Israeli military attack earlier that morning, the Anadolu Agency reported, citing local witnesses.

Israel has not yet released a statement regarding this airstrike.

Although Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas agreed to a ceasefire in October of last year, sporadic clashes have continued to occur.
