The Israeli military has since acknowledged that the airstrike went wrong. A young boy inspects the site of an Israeli strike that killed Palestinians gathered at a water distribution point, according to medics, in central Gaza on 13 July 2025. Picture: X/@DI313_ Israeli air strikes have killed at least 45 Palestinians, among them eight children, near a water distribution point, blaming it on a technical error. Mahmoud Basal, civil defence spokesman, said there were multiple Israeli strikes on Gaza City overnight and early morning on Sunday, resulting in eight deaths, 'including women and children', with additional injuries reported. Strike at a water point The Gaza Civil Defence Agency said the loss of lives was due to a drone strike at a water point. Video from the chaotic scene at the water point showed multiple casualties, including children, amid buckets and water carriers. The strikes on Sunday come as talks for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas stalled, with delegates from both sides having spent a week trying to agree on a temporary truce to halt 21 months of devastating fighting in the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reported. The Israeli military has since acknowledged that the airstrike went wrong and blamed the attack on a technical error when targeting a group in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, adding that the 'munition fell dozens of meters from the target.'
