5-year-old and her uncle killed in airstrike in Gaza as Israel says it targeted an imminent threat

On Monday, an Israeli strike hit a tent sheltering displaced people in Muwasi area northwest of Khan Younis, killing a 5-year-old girl and her uncle and wounding two other children.
The Israeli military said it struck a Hamas militant who planned an imminent attack on Israeli troops and asserted the strike complied with the ceasefire and mitigated civilian harm.
The Gaza Health Ministry reported that 400 or more bodies have been brought to hospitals since Oct. 10, with over 400 killed and 1,189 wounded since the ceasefire.
Nasser Hospital officials said earlier on Monday two other bodies were brought in and five others arrived with injuries, but The Associated Press couldn’t independently verify those details.
The military also said it had begun striking Hezbollah and Hamas targets in southern and eastern Lebanon amid ceasefire violations, days before Lebanon’s army commander briefs on disarming Hezbollah, while the overall Palestinian death toll rose to at least 71,388.
