# At least 15 people, including ten children, were killed by an Israeli strike as they queued outside US-based Project HOPE’s health clinic in central Gaza on Thursday. The strike in front of the Altayara health clinic in Deir al-Balah happened as patients had gathered outside, awaiting its opening to receive treatment for malnutrition, infections, chronic illnesses, and more. The Israel Defence Force says it had targeted a Hamas terrorist who had participated in the 7 October 2023 attack, but regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals.
