Civil Defense officials said the family’s vehicle had moved east of Gaza City and crossed the yellow line before being struck. “It was possible to warn them or stop them without killing,” a Civil Defense spokesperson said. “But the occupation remains thirsty for blood and determined to kill innocent civilians.”
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas condemned the strike, calling it “a deliberate and complete war crime” and a “blatant violation of the ceasefire.”
“The Israeli army fired a tank shell directly at the Shaaban family’s vehicle as they tried to inspect their home in Zaytoun,” the statement read. “Eleven family members, including seven children and three women, were killed instantly.”
Hamas said the attack reflects Israel’s intent to continue its aggression despite the US-supervised ceasefire deal brokered by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey earlier this month.
“This horrific crime exposes Israel’s disregard for human life and international law,” the statement said. Hamas urged President Donald Trump and the mediators to hold Israel accountable and pressure it to stop targeting civilians.
The Government Media Office also condemned the strike, describing it as another massacre against defenseless families. It called for an urgent international investigation into Israel’s repeated violations of the ceasefire.
