Israeli strike kills six children waiting to collect water in Gaza: Medics

At least 10 Palestinians, including six children, were killed by an Israeli airstrike on Sunday while waiting at a water refilling station in the Nuseirat refugee camp in Central Gaza, according to Gaza medics.

17 people were also injured in the strike, which the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has blamed a “technical error” according to multiple reports, adding that the intended target was an Islamic Jihad militant.

Video footage over the weekend showed the inside of a mosque in the West Bank destroyed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) after it was allegedly used as a base of operations.

The Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Mosque, located in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the northeastern part of the territory, appeared gutted, with debris scattered across the prayer area.

đź“– Quran Verse & Hadith of the Day: Compassion towards children

📖 Quran – Surah Taghabun, verse 15

 â€śYour wealth and children are only a test, but Allah [alone] has a great reward.”

🕊️ Hadith – Mishkat al-Masabihah, Book 29, Hadith 91

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said that: “Allah the Exalted and Glorious, said: I have prepared for My pious servants which no eye has ever seen, and no ear has ever heard, and no human heart has ever perceived but it is testified by the Book of Allah. He (ﷺ) then recited:" No soul knows what comfort has been concealed from them, as a reward for what they did.”
