The only survivor of the family is a child, who was not in the housing at the time of the strike

Five members of a family, including a couple and their three children, died Saturday when an apartment in northwestern Gaza City was struck. Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesperson for Gaza's Civil Defense, stated that the only survivor from the family was a child not present during the strike. Al-Chifa Hospital confirmed receiving the five bodies.

An Israeli army spokesperson indicated that a strike in Gaza City targeted a Hamas operative and that the army was assessing the operation's results. A Gaza resident described the strike as sudden and unexpected, with debris and casualties widespread. Video footage showed damage to a building and rescue efforts.
