Israeli strike meant to target militant in Gaza kills 8, mostly children, due to missile malfunction.

An Israeli missile strike intended to hit an Islamic Jihad militant in Gaza accidentally killed at least eight Palestinians, mostly children, and injured over a dozen others due to a malfunction. The missile hit a water distribution point in the Nuseirat refugee camp, worsening the water shortage crisis. Since the war began in October 2023, over 58,000 people have been killed, with ceasefire talks stalled.
