Israeli strike hits a tent in central Gaza, killing 3, including a child

Health authorities in the coastal enclave said the drone strike hit a neighborhood in Deir al-Balah, one of the least damaged towns in central Gaza.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said the fatalities were Hassan al-Hanagra and his 8-year-old grandchild, Malik Abu Shawish, along with another man. Abu Shawish, whose parents are divorced, was visiting his mother's tent at the time of the strike, and his mother was among seven people wounded in the strike, hospital officials said.

Israel's military said the strike was targeting a militant, but did not immediately name him or say if he was killed.
