Attack near medical centre in Deir al-Balah killed 16 people, officials say; Israel says it targeted militant
At least seven children were killed by an Israeli strike in broad daylight while waiting in line for nutritional supplements near a medical centre in central Gaza on Thursday, health officials say.
The bodies of the children, covered in blood, were lined up along the floor of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital as relatives came up to hold them one by one.
Gaza's Health Ministry said the attack in Deir al-Balah happened at around 9:15 a.m. on Thursday, killing at least 16 people, including seven children between one and 14 years of age.
Abu Hassan Bashir, 38, was in the area at the time of the strike and rushed to help at the scene of the attack.
"I held two children who were martyred," Bashir told CBC News freelance videographer Mohamed El Saife.
"This small Zionist rocket ripped apart the children and turned them into martyrs," he said, pointing at a small crater in the ground which appeared to have been left after the strike.
He also pointed to the blood stains covering the curbs at the site, where children's slippers had been left behind, adding that most days, the line of women and children standing there was much longer than the one on Thursday morning.
"If [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu delayed the strike a bit, there would have been 100 martyrs because of how busy it gets here," Bashir said, adding that medical centre provides nutritional supplements and ailment treatment for children and pregnant women.

And that Adidas sandal in the middle of the street is more than enough evidence to back up the HAMAS Health Authorities claims. Like... They've never lied their *sses off over the past couple of years. The CBC relies almost exclusively on the figures offered by HAMAS when it comes to counting how many civilian deaths have occurred in GAZA.
Are we sure it wasn’t 81 children?
Yeah sure, I believe the media. /s
“BROAD DAYLIGHT” when you can see the targets better.
Well that certainly sounds like the testimony of an unimpeachable witness. Anybody other than Hamas or the UN confirm the details here?
Good one! The Muslim propaganda loves the 81 number.
CBC is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. CNN for the Canuks.
Photos the same kids as last week? Crisis actors? Wouldn’t be the first time.
Why don’t we see the same coverage for Israeli children who are killed by indiscriminate rocket attacks, or the beheading of women, children, and babies? Why does Hamas insist on hiding in schools and hospitals and using them as staging areas for rocket attacks? Sorry, but if mothers in Gaza want to stop mourning the loss of their children, the first step is to stop supporting Hamas.
Oh, seven less Palestinian terrorists.
The terrorists base some of their operations from hospitals. Israel has no choice but to attack those.
NPR for the canucks.
LOL! Yeah, that too!
“Gaza’s Health Ministry”. AKA, Hamas!
CBC is trash on a par with The Guardian. They are a big part of the reason Carney won.
And we should believe this because…?
Human shields still abound.
More fake news.
Nice to see all the healthy skepticism in response.
“The lone, empty children’s sandal photo is a nice touch. Oscar level cinematography.”
Yes wasn’t at all contrived!
