At least eight Palestinians, most of them children, were killed and more than a dozen others were wounded in central Gaza on Sunday in an Israeli missile strike, which the military said missed its intended target.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had intended to hit an Islamic Jihad militant in the area, but that a malfunction had caused the missile to fall "dozens of meters from the target."

"The IDF regrets any harm to uninvolved civilians," the military group said in a statement, adding that the incident was under review.

The strike hit a water distribution point in Nuseirat refugee camp, killing eight – including six children – and injuring 17 others, said Ahmed Abu Saifan, an emergency physician at Al-Awda Hospital.
