'They were just kids': Mother mourns sons killed in Israeli strike while waiting for aid20 hours ago Share Save David Gritten BBC News Reporting from Jerusalem Share SaveBBC Two of Iman al-Nouri's five sons were killed on Thursday's Israeli strike, while a third was seriously woundedIman al-Nouri's youngest son, two-year-old Siraj, woke up crying from hunger on Thursday and asked to get some nutritional supplements.
"The [medical] point was still closed, so they were sitting on the pavement when suddenly we heard the sound of the strike," Iman told a local journalist working for the BBC.
The Israeli military said it targeted a "Hamas terrorist" and that it regretted any harm to what it called "uninvolved individuals", while adding that the incident was under review.
But since then, there have been almost daily reports of people being killed by Israeli fire while seeking food.
The Israeli military said it recognised there had been incidents in which civilians had been harmed and that it was working to minimise "possible friction between the population and the [Israeli] forces as much as possible".
