Child, 4, killed in new Israeli bombardment of Gaza

A four-year-old child died in an Israeli airstrike on a house in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza on Monday afternoon. The strike also critically injured a woman and her two daughters, who were rescued from the rubble of their home. The family's house had received an evacuation order from Israel, but neighbors remained inside when two missiles hit.

This bombing was one of four strikes reported in Gaza within a few hours, adding to six other fatalities earlier in the day. Two attacks in Gaza City destroyed a mosque and a home in the Shati camp and hit a small desalination plant in the Sheij Radwan neighborhood. The fourth strike hit the Abu Salem mosque in Deir al-Balah.

The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) carried out precision attacks in the Shati and Deir al-Balah areas in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military confirmed strikes on Shati and Deir al-Balah, stating that the mosques served as Hamas weapons storage. When asked about the Bureij and Sheij Radwan strikes, the military said they were "not aware." After EFE reported witnessing damage and a fire at the desalination plant, the military did not comment.

Both Israel and the U.S.-backed Peace Board maintain that Israeli forces can attack Gaza if an "imminent threat" to troops is identified. The military did not respond to inquiries about how infrastructure like weapons storage facilities could be classified as an "imminent threat."
