Israel Blames ‘Technical Malfunction’ After Killing Thirsty Children at Gaza Water Point

Gaza (Quds News Network)- Ten thirsty Palestinians, including six children, were killed on Sunday in an Israeli airstrike that hit a water distribution point in central Gaza. Over 12 others were injured in the same attack.

The Israeli military claimed the deadly strike was caused by a “technical malfunction” while targeting a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement.

In a statement, the Israeli army claimed that it was targeting a resistance fighter, however “due to a technical fault in the ammunition, the projectile fell dozens of meters from the intended target.”
