Israel: ‘Malfunction’ to Blame for Fatal Strike on Children Collecting Water in Gaza
GAZA STRIP, JUL 14 – The Israeli military said a technical malfunction caused the missile to miss its target, killing 10 civilians including six children at a Gaza water distribution point amid severe shortages.
- On July 13, 2025, an Israeli attack targeted a location where people were gathering to collect water in the Nuseirat refugee camp area of central Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least six children along with several adults.
- The strike occurred amid worsening water shortages in Gaza caused by fuel shortages, and Israel said the missile aimed for an Islamic Jihad militant but malfunctioned and missed its target.
- Local health authorities reported that the strike killed Palestinians who had gathered to obtain water and wounded more than a dozen others, while separate attacks in Gaza resulted in fatalities, including a well-known hospital surgeon.
- The Israel Defense Forces indicated that the incident is being investigated after a malfunction caused the munition to land several meters away from its intended target, and they expressed sorrow for any harm caused to civilians not involved.
- The strike underscores ongoing dangers faced by Gazans amid stalled ceasefire negotiations in Qatar and Israeli plans to displace hundreds of thousands to southern Rafah, intensifying humanitarian concerns.
