"Three children, their mother and her husband were sleeping inside a tent and were bombed by an (Israeli) occupation aircraft," family member Omar Abu al-Kass told AFP.
The strikes came "without warning and without having done anything wrong," added Abu al-Kass, who said he was the children's maternal grandfather.
AFP images from the scene showed mourners, some of them weeping, gathering alongside five white shrouds of different sizes.
"Five martyrs and wounded in an (Israeli) occupation air strike on a tent in the Sabra neighbourhood" of Gaza City, civil defence spokesman Mahmoud Bassal told AFP.
The death toll since Israel resumed its genocidal assault on Gaza on 18 March, ending a two-month ceasefire, has risen to 2,701, with 7,432 others wounded.
Since 7 October 2023, Israeli forces have killed at least 52,810 Palestinians in the territory and injured nearly 120,000 more, most of them women and children, according to Gaza’s health ministry figures considered reliable by the United Nations.
