Eight killed in Gaza strike during funeral, Hamas health ministry says

An Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip has killed eight people, according to the Hamas-controlled health authorities. The strike occurred Friday in the city of Nuseirat, hitting a group attending a funeral for someone killed in an earlier Israeli attack the same day.

Health officials reported that 20 other individuals were wounded in the Nuseirat attack. The Israeli military stated that the strike was aimed at a cell belonging to the militant group Islamic Jihad. The military also acknowledged it was "aware of claims that several people without affiliation were injured as a result of the attack" and added that the circumstances were being clarified.

The report of the strike comes amidst ongoing conflict in the region. The article also includes unrelated news items, such as opposition politician Boris Nadezhdin being fined in Russia, The Rolling Stones reaching number one in the UK charts, and a dog rescuing a reporter in Denmark.
