Girls killed by flying shrapnel in overnight Israeli attacks
We have confirmation that two girls were killed in overnight attacks – one in az-Zawayda and the other in eastern Deir el-Balah. They were killed as a result of flying shrapnel, which hit them directly in the head.
In the western part of Gaza City, near al-Amal Hotel, Israeli air strikes caused a fire. In footage that we’ve seen, we can clearly hear people inside a building and neighbouring homes screaming for help as the fire rages. The attack happened without prior warning.
