The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah in the central Gaza Strip said it received the bodies of the family and their child early Sunday morning.

Medical workers said about 10 people were injured in the attack.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

Since the “ceasefire” began in October, Israel has continued its near-daily attacks on the besieged Palestinian territory, which Gaza health officials say have killed nearly 900 people.

Reporting from Gaza City, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud said the Israeli bombardment began on Sunday as Palestinians fled following an evacuation order. He said many people were running carrying their belongings, including mattresses.

Separately, Israeli forces continued to demolish civilian buildings and weapons in eastern Gaza on Sunday behind Israel’s so-called “Yellow Line”, referring to Israel’s designated areas and protected areas inside the fence, he said.

Israeli jets also carried out airstrikes in Deir el-Balah in the central Gaza Strip on Sunday, causing heavy damage near a hospital, Mahmoud said.

Earlier this month, the Gaza Government Media Office said it had documented at least 2,400 Israeli violations in the last six months, including more than 1,100 rockets and 921 shots fired at civilians.

More than 72,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023. Israeli officials admitted the data was more accurate in January, after two years of questioning its credibility.

On Saturday, five policemen and a 13-year-old boy were to be killed in the attack on Israel.

Talks between Israel and Hamas are aimed at ending the war once and for all, with both sides accusing each other of violating the ceasefire. Israel says Hamas’s refusal to disarm is a major obstacle, while the Palestinian Authority says talks have been stalled due to continued violations and aid cuts to Gaza.

Earlier this week, Human Rights Watch said humanitarian efforts in the region were still under threat, six months after the ceasefire began.
