Israeli Airstrike in Gaza Claims Lives of Doctor's Children
A devastating airstrike in Khan Younis, Gaza, has reportedly resulted in the deaths of seven children from the Al-Najjar family, according to Gaza health officials.
Details of the Incident
Dr. Alaa al-Najjar, a pediatrician at Nasser Hospital and the children's mother, was at work when she heard about the explosion near her home south of the city. She rushed to the scene only to find emergency workers recovering the charred remains of her children.
Ali al-Najjar, her brother-in-law, stated that they recovered four charred bodies initially, with the mother immediately recognizing them.
Tragically, two other children from the family remain missing and are presumed dead beneath the rubble.
Circumstances Surrounding the Airstrike
Reportedly, the adjacent building was storing car tires that caught fire in the blast. The flames quickly spread to the Najjars’ home, exacerbating the devastation.
Context of Renewed Conflict
This incident unfolds amidst a renewed escalation in fighting between Israel and Hamas, marked by increased Israeli airstrikes throughout Gaza.
