IDF kills Palestinian Children queuing for Water | UNICEF
Youtube Description: Ten people, including at least six children, have been killed in an Israeli air strike on a water distribution centre in Gaza, according to emergency officials.
The bodies of those killed in the strike were sent to Nuseirat's al-Awda Hospital, a doctor there said.
The Israeli military claims a so-called 'technical issue' caused the deaths, saying it 'regrets any harm to uninvolved civilians'.
A statement said the IDF was targeting an 'Islamic terrorist' when a technical fault caused strikes to hit the wrong target.
To analyse the news, Shelagh Fogarty speaks to UNICEF's Rosalia Bollen.

Where is Palestinian? Palestine is a geographic region in Western Asia. It is usually considered to include the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Israel, and in some definitions, some parts of western Jordan. The name was used by ancient Greek writers, and it was later used for
the Roman province Syria Palaestina, the Byzantine Palaestina Prima, and the Islamic provincial district of Jund Filastin. The region comprises most of the territory claimed for the biblical regions known as the Land of Israel, the Holy Land or Promised Land. Historically, it has been known as the southern portion of wider regional designations such as Canaan, Syria, ash-Sham, and the Levant. Situated at a strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, and the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics.
