The eyes of international public opinion may be on Qatar and the new ceasefire negotiations, but Israel continues undaunted to bombard Gaza and Lebanon causing new civilian deaths.
The Gaza Civil Defense Agency announced that 15 members of the same family, including three women and nine children, were killed by an Israeli strike overnight in the center of the Gaza Strip.
At least 15 Palestinians were killed after bombing a warehouse used by displaced Palestinians as a shelter in Zawayda area central Gaza.

All were killed in an airstrike on “their house and neighboring warehouses in al-Zawaida,” said Civil Defense Agency spokesman Mahmoud Basal, who added that the victims, nine of whom were aged between two and 17, belonged to in the Azlah family.
Terrorist Israel killed an entire family while they were sleeping inside a barracks they had taken refuge in in the middle of the Gaza Strip after dropping a missile on them. This massacre resulted in the death of 15 people from the same family and a large number of injuries. I am sharing the names so that you cannot comprehend the magnitude of the disaster that befell this family.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA also reported today that at least 15 Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded in an Israeli strike in Zawayda, central Gaza.
Israel’s armed forces are aware of reports that 15 people were killed in an airstrike in Gaza and are looking into them, a military spokesman said.
Israeli strike with ten dead in southern Lebanon
Ten people were killed, including two children, and five were injured in an Israeli strike on a residential building in the southern Lebanese city of Nabatiya, the state-run NNA news agency reported today.
The victims were all Syrian civilians, NNA reported, adding that the final tally of the attack will be announced after DNA tests are carried out to identify the victims.
The Israeli armed forces announced that the airstrike targeted a weapons depot used by Hezbollah fighters.
The strike came after ceasefire talks between the Islamist Palestinian group Hamas and Israel broke down in Doha on Friday, with negotiators set to meet again next week.
Tensions have risen in recent weeks in the region after a rocket attack blamed on Hezbollah killed 12 children and teenagers in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israel responded by killing a top Hezbollah commander in the suburbs of Beirut.
Hezbollah has said it will respond to Israel, as it has said it will do to Iran, for the assassination in Tehran of the political leader of the Palestinian organization Hamas, Ismail Haniya.
