An Israeli airstrike today claimed the lives of a father, his wife, and their four children in Gaza City, and set their home on fire, according to health officials.
The Israeli strike on the family’s home in the Sabra neighborhood, as stated by health officials, killed the man, Firas Al-Masri, his wife Salsabel, and their three daughters and son.

The Israeli military confirmed the strike, stating that the target was a Hamas fighter and that it is investigating the outcome of the attack.
In separate strikes since Friday, the Israeli military said it killed three militants from Hamas and Islamic Jihad, two of whom had participated in the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel and had abducted Israeli hostages.
These deaths are in addition to the more than 1,150 Palestinians, mostly civilians, who have been killed by Israeli attacks since the October ceasefire between Israel and Hamas militants took effect, according to Gaza health officials. Hamas does not typically disclose figures on its own casualties.
The truce has halted the intense fighting but has not stopped the nearly daily Israeli strikes. Israel claims it is targeting militants. Four Israeli soldiers have been killed by militants in Gaza during the same period.
