Hello and welcome to NewsHour. It's coming to you live from the BBC World Service

Studios in central London. I'm Tim Franks. We're beginning in Gaza, where the emergency services

say that 10 people, six of whom were children, have today been killed in an Israeli air strike.

They were queuing for water in the centre of the enclave.

Eyewitnesses said a drone fired a missile at a crowd of people queuing with empty jerry cans

next to a water tanker in the heart of the Al Nasserat refugee camp. These Israel defence

forces put out a statement saying that they'd been targeting an Islamic jihad terrorist,

but as a result of a technical error with munition, it had fallen dozens of metres from the target.

The incident, they said, is under review and that they regret any harm to uninvolved civilians.

Nick Beak is our correspondent following events out of the Jerusalem Bureau.

What's his understanding of the incident and how it unfolded?

Well, I think the most graphic picture that's painted, Tim, is from this video that emerged pretty soon afterwards,

and it shows a number of people within the refugee camp, and you see the empty jerry cans and bodies

all around of children and of adults, the Israeli military saying that they are looking into this,

that they regret any harm to any civilians who may have been injured. And this comes amid what reports on the ground suggest, I mean, obviously we're not in Gaza.

The BBC's not allowed to be in Gaza, along with other international media,

which is why I'm speaking to you out of Jerusalem,

but the reports that we're getting from health officials in Gaza

and from the international aid agencies that are operating there,

it sounds as if there are increasing numbers of deaths in recent days and weeks in Gaza from fire.

Yeah, that's right.

And I think there is particular concern.
