A rocket hit children carrying water in the Gaza Strip. Israel calls it an "emergency."

The Israeli military says the missile was intended to hit an Islamic Jihad fighter in the area, but a malfunction caused the rocket to fall "several dozen meters from the target." "The IDF deplores any damage caused to innocent civilians," the statement said, adding that the cause of the incident was under investigation.

An Israeli rocket hit a water distribution point in the Nusairat refugee camp, killing six children and wounding 17 others, said Ahmed Abu Saifan, an emergency doctor at Al-Awda Hospital.
