Al Jazeera reported that Gaza’s civil defense authorities said the attack occurred on Friday night when Israeli forces fired tank shells at a civilian vehicle carrying the Abu Shaban family in Gaza City’s Zeitoun district.
Civil Defense Spokesman Mahmoud Bassal said in a statement that seven children and three women were among the dead when Israeli forces opened fire on the vehicle as their families arrived at their homes to inspect it.
“They could have been warned or reacted differently,” Bassal said, adding: “This incident confirms that the occupation forces remain bloodthirsty and continue to insist on crimes against innocent civilians.”
Hamas condemned what it called a “genocide” and said the families were targeted without justifiable reason. The group called on US President Donald Trump and mediators to pressure Israel to respect the ceasefire agreement.
