It appeared to be the deadliest attack on the isolated north since Israeli troops resumed operations against Hamas militants there in early October, and came a day after Israel's parliament voted to ban operations by the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees.
'We simply cannot accept the killing of Palestinian children as normal,' Save the Children wrote in a post on Instagram. 'Each child killed was someone's everything, with hopes and dreams for the future.'
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Tuesday that the United States was 'deeply concerned by the loss of civilian life,' adding that Washington has yet to receive a 'full explanation' of the strike from the Israeli government.
The Gaza Health Ministry says that more than 43,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel began military operations in the enclave 13 months ago in response to the Hamas-led attacks of Oct. 7, 2023.
