The worst civilian death toll—seven, at the latest count—occurred in a strike on the Khan Yunis home of a terrorist commander. Hamas calls it a "massacre against women and children." But residents say the family got both a warning call and a knock on the roof. An Israeli security official says Israeli forces didn't fire their missile until the family had left the house. The official didn't understand why some members of the family, and apparently their neighbors, went back inside. The residents say they were trying to "form a human shield."
