A devastating Israeli drone strike in Gaza has claimed the lives of two young brothers, aged 8 and 10, who were out collecting firewood to help their disabled father. The tragic incident occurred in the Bani Suheila area, east of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, at around 8:30 am on Saturday. According to eyewitnesses, the brothers, Fadi and Jumaa Tamer Abu Assi, were innocent civilians with no connection to armed groups. Their uncle, Ala'a Abu Assi, described them as 'children who have no rockets and no bombs.' The Israeli military claimed that its forces had identified two suspects who 'crossed the Yellow Line' and 'conducted suspicious activities' before approaching IDF troops. However, local residents disputed this account, saying that the area is heavily populated and there are no clear signs indicating the Yellow Line. The drone strike is the latest in a series of deadly incidents involving Israeli forces firing on people in the area of the Yellow Line since the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into effect on October 10. According to the Hamas-run health ministry, 354 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the ceasefire began. The funerals of the two brothers were held in the afternoon, with over 60 people gathering to mourn their deaths. The boys' father, who is wheelchair-bound, was seen crying out as he held on to the body bags, one on each side, as they were carried by mourners before burial.
