1-year-old who had spoken his first word hours earlier among 10 kids killed in Israeli strike outside clinic​

NBC News' team in Gaza witnessed a man kiss his small, dead nephew on the head. "I love you so much, my love," he said, sobbing.

At least 15 people, including 10 children and two women, were killed and dozens injured by an Israeli strike while lined up outside a health clinic Thursday morning, according to Project HOPE, the organization that runs the clinic.

Among those killed were children as young as 1 and 4. Video verified by NBC News of the immediate aftermath of the strike in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, showed children slumped into pools of blood and women cradling limp toddlers. The area was shrouded in smoke and dust. Many people were screaming.

"Project HOPE's health clinics are a place of refuge in Gaza where people bring their small children, women access pregnancy and postpartum care, people receive treatment for malnutrition, and more," Rabih Torbay, the organization's president, said in a statement. "Yet, this morning, innocent families were mercilessly attacked as they stood in line waiting for the doors to open."

Asked for comment by NBC News, the Israel Defense Forces said that the strike targeted a member of Hamas, and that it "regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals."

In one scene captured on video, several bloodied children, including a girl in a pale pink princess dress, along with her twin brother, were piled onto a donkey cart to be taken to Al-Aqsa Hospital.

This is sick, and outrageous. Benjamin Netanyahu is a monster. Human life means nothing to him. He should be arrested for being a war criminal. The Hope Clinics are supposed to be safe for women and children, in other words, HANDS OFF!! I watched the videos of this unforgivable crime. A man, carrying a small child in his arms, wrapped in white cloth. It's not something I can completely process in my head that any human being could do this to innocent women and children.
 
I'm sure Hamas carefully avoided doing any military activity at that location. After all, they follow all other rules and traditions of war so strictly!
