Four Palestinian children died yesterday after a terrorist rocket misfired and fell back onto their home in Gaza, according to the IDF.

They were among a total seven deaths in a residence in the Jabaliya refugee camp.

As images of body bags were shared on social media, reports in Palestinian news media blamed an air strike by the IDF.

However, Israeli military officials denied that was the case and insisted there had been no air air strikes in the area at the time.
