At least eight Palestinians, most of them, were killed on Sunday and, despite a dozen other injured on Sunday, while local officials gathered water. The victims were the result of an Israeli air strike that the army acknowledged that he missed the intended goal.
The Israeli army said the strike was focused on the Islamic Jihad Militant in this area, but due to the failure the missile “tens of meters” landed, Reuters said.

“IDF regrets any damage to non -participating civilians,” he said in his statement, adding that the incident was reviewed.
The strike hit the point of water distribution in the refugee camp Nuseirat, killed six children and injured 17 others, said Ahmed Abu Saifan, emergency physician at Al-Awda hospital.
Lack of water in Gaza has deteriorated sharply in recent weeks, with lack of fuel caused by desalination and hygiene, so people depended on collection centers where they can fill their plastic containers.
A few hours later, 12 people were killed by an Israeli strike on the Gaza market, including a prominent hospital consultant, Ahmad Qandil, the Palestinian media reported. The Israeli army did not immediately comment on the attack.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Sunday that more than 58,000 people had been killed since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas in October 2023, with 139 people joined the victims in the last 24 hours.
The Ministry does not distinguish between civilians and warriors in its sum, but says that more than half of the killed are women and children.
What about the interviews about the ceasefire?
US President Donald Trump in the Middle East Steve Witkoff said on Sunday that he was “hopeful” that there was a meeting on the Gaza ceasefire in Qatar.
He told journalists in Teterboro, New Jersey, planning to meet higher Qatari officials on the outskirts of the FIFA Club World Cup final.
Negotiations aimed at ensuring the ceasefire, however, stopped, and both sides were divided into the extent of the possible Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian enclave, and the Palestinian and Israeli resources were reported by Reuters at the weekend.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was ready to convene ministers on Sunday to discuss the latest developments in interviews, the Israeli official said.

Indirect interviews about the US design for a 60 -day ceasefire are held in Doha, but the optimism that emerged last week’s impending agreements has disappeared to a large extent and both sides blamed each other for tirelessness.
Netanyahu in a video published on Sunday on a telegram said that Israel would not return from its main requirements – release all hostages in Gaza, destroy Hamas and ensure that they will never be a threat to Israel again.
The war began on October 7, 2023, when the Militants of Hamas leaded into Israel, killed about 1200 people and took 251 hostages to Gaza. It is assumed that at least 20 of the remaining 50 hostages are still alive. The hostage families gathered outside the Netanyahua office in Jerusalem to call for an agreement.
