Israeli airstrike kills ten people, including children, at a Gaza water station

# Ten Palestinians, including six children, were killed in a missile strike at a water collection point in central Gaza on Sunday. Sixteen people were injured. The Israel Defence Forces says it had intended to hit an Islamic Jihad militant, but a technical error caused the missile to fall dozens of metres from the target. It says this incident is under review, adding that it works to mitigate harm to uninvolved civilians as much as possible. Meanwhile, a separate airstrike on Sunday hit a home, killing nine people.
