Reports indicate that an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip has resulted in the deaths of nine children belonging to a Palestinian doctor.

The doctor, whose name has been reported, is said to have had ten children in total.

Details surrounding the specific circumstances of the strike are still emerging, and it is unclear whether the doctor was the target.

Israeli military officials have not yet released a public statement confirming or denying the incident.

However, international media outlets have quoted sources alleging the airstrike took place in the Gaza Strip during ongoing conflict.

The incident has drawn immediate condemnation from various international organizations and human rights groups.

These groups are calling for a full investigation into the event and accountability for those responsible.

Gaza, a densely populated area, has been the site of significant conflict between Israel and Hamas, the governing body of Gaza.

The ongoing hostilities have resulted in numerous casualties, including civilians, on both sides.

Further developments and official statements from both Israeli and Palestinian authorities are anticipated as investigations proceed.
