Israel Wipes Out Families in Gaza Bombardment

Entire families are being wiped out as Israel escalates bombardment across Gaza City and makeshift encampments.

At least 28 Palestinians have been killed in attacks since dawn on Thursday.

Three-year-old Ibrahim survived an Israeli strike that killed his parents and siblings.

His grandmother, Umm Abu al-Abed Abu al-Jubein, said: “This column and all the rubble were lying on top of him; I don’t know how, but God saved him.”

“He is the only one. His mother, father and two siblings were lost. We woke up to the boy screaming … We found my daughter in pieces; her husband and daughters were scattered around her.”

Ibrahim is among more than 49,000 children in Gaza who have lost one or both parents, according to health authorities.

UNICEF reports at least 17,000 children orphaned since Israel’s war on Gaza began.

Entire families continue to die in tents and shelters under Israeli attacks.

“My brother was killed, struck inside his room,” said displaced Palestinian Sabreen al-Mabhuh.

“They killed him with his wife and children; they erased them all. No one is left.”

Medical sources report at least 37 Palestinians killed across Gaza since dawn, including 22 in Gaza City.

Four aid seekers were among those killed in attacks in central and southern Gaza.

Since October 2023, at least 370 Palestinians have died from starvation caused by Israeli siege, including 131 children, the Gaza Health Ministry says.

Three people reportedly died of malnutrition in the past 24 hours.

Israeli forces carried out another deadly attack on a tent camp in western Gaza City, killing a child and injuring others.

Palestinian activists shared video clips independently verified showing fires in displaced people’s tents in Nassr neighborhood after Israeli strikes.

Since the start of the war in October 2023, at least 63,746 Palestinian people have been killed and 161,245 wounded across Gaza.
