Saturday’s airstrike hit a house and an adjacent warehouse sheltering displaced people at the entrance to the town of Zawaida, according to Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al Balah, where casualties were taken. An Associated Press reporter there counted the dead.

Among those killed was Sami Jawad al Ejlah, a wholesaler who coordinated with the Israeli military to bring meat and fish to Gaza. The dead also included his two wives, 11 of their children, ages 2 to 22, and the children’s grandmother, according to a list provided by the hospital. “He was a peaceful man,” said Abu Ahmed, a neighbor. More than 40 civilians were sheltering in the house and warehouse at the time, he said."
