It said a munition missed its target by dozens of metres. Also in the programme: Nigeria's former president Buhari dies; and the origins of Superman.

  • This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.

  • at a crowd of people queuing with empty jerrycans next to a water tanker in the heart of the Al Naserat 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 Beek 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 is not allowed to be in Gaza,

  • along with other international media, which is why I'm speaking to 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 the United Nations has articulated that.
