Palestinians carried the bodies of the Al Dalu family during a funeral which drew thousands of people in Gaza City on Monday after an Israeli bomb struck their house and killed 12, including two neighbors and a seven year-old boy, the New York Times reports:
Lt. Gen. Avital Leibovich, a spokeswoman for the Israel Defense Forces, said it was “still looking into” the Sunday afternoon strike on the Dalu home in the Al Nasser neighborhood, which she described as an accident. She said the target had been a man “in charge of rocket launching” from the neighborhood, and that 200 to 300 rockets had been fired at Israel under his command in recent days, but it was unclear whether that man even lived nearby.
