Al Jazeera reported that when the attack occurred, dozens of Palestinians were gathering to attend a wedding.
This attack is the latest of hundreds of violations of the Israeli ceasefire that took effect last October.
This attack also occurred when United States President Donald Trump’s special envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff and other senior US officials were scheduled to meet to discuss phase two of the ceasefire in Gaza.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that talks were underway between representatives of Qatar, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
Rubio emphasized that the US priority is to complete the first phase of the ceasefire deal by forming a committee of Palestinian technocrats, establishing a “Peace Council” and deploying international troops to the region.
“No one is arguing that the status quo will continue long term or is desirable, and that’s why we have a sense of urgency to fully complete phase one,” Rubio said.
