Eight family members killed in Israeli airstrike on house in Nuseirat refugee camp


A devastating Israeli airstrike this morning targeted a home in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in the murder of eight members of the Abu Ghali family.

The victims, who had previously been displaced to the Abu Dlal residence for safety, included Walid Abu Ghali, his wife Shireen, and their six children: Mohammad, Ahmad, Yasmeen, Samah, Yara, and Tala. Their bodies were transported to Al-Awda Hospital for identification.

Simultaneously, the Israeli occupation army has been maintaining a strict blockade of the Jabalia refugee camp, northern Gaza, for eight days. Reports indicate that several homes have been destroyed using explosive drones, leading to fires breaking out across various areas of the camp amid continuous bombardments.

Local sources also reported a fire at the Abu Hashim family home caused by an Israeli missile strike near the Abdel Aal junction on Al-Jalaa Street northwest of Gaza City.

Meantime, Israeli artillery shelling targeted homes in the Sikka area of th
e Zeitoun neighborhood, located southeast of Gaza City.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7, 2023, has so far resulted in 42,175 documented Palestinian fatalities, with an additional 98,336 individuals sustaining injuries, the majority of whom are women and children.

Thousands are also feared dead under the rubble of destroyed structures across the war-torn enclave, with civil defense teams and emergency services unable to reach several areas due to safety concerns amid the indiscriminate Israeli attacks.
