Israeli Drone Strike on Funeral Procession Kills 8 Mourners in Nuseirat

An Israeli drone struck a funeral procession outside the Ahmad Yassin Mosque in the Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza, killing at least 8 mourners and wounding 20 as they buried a man killed hours earlier by an Israeli strike in the same area. Israel claimed without providing public substantiation that the gathering included an Islamic Jihad cell; no independent verification of that claim has been reported. The strike was part of a broader wave of attacks that killed 14 Palestinians across Gaza that day. The UN human rights office said Israeli attacks killed at least 57 Palestinians, including 6 children and 8 women, between July 13–20, warning the pattern 'raises concerns of continuing violations of international humanitarian law, war crimes and other possible atrocity crimes in Gaza.'
