The family’s neighbor, Zuhair al-Haysami, told AP that the strike occurred at around 2:00 a.m., when the family was asleep.

Israel announced the elimination of a militant
The Israel Defense Forces said that a militant allegedly involved in attacks on Israeli forces was eliminated as a result of the strike on Beit Lahia. The military provided no other details.
Israel had previously explained its strikes on Gaza as a response to threats against its military amid the fragile ceasefire that has been in effect since October.
Meanwhile, the situation is also escalating in other parts of the region. In Yemen, Iran-backed Houthi forces seized the strategic port city of Mokha, located approximately 80 km from the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Around 12% of the world’s oil and other goods are transported through this maritime route.
