Nine children killed under Israeli fire. This is the toll of the raid on Gaza that hit the home of a doctor and killed nine of her ten children: the hospital of Khan Younis says, as reported by BBC. The Nasser hospital said that one of the sons of the doctor Alaa al-Najjar and her husband were injured , but survived.
Graeme Groom, a British surgeon who works at the hospital, said he operated on his 11-year-old son, the only survivor. A video shared by the director of the Hamas-run Health Ministry and verified by the BBC showed small, burned bodies being pulled from the rubble of the attack on Khan Younis on Friday. Muneer Alboursh, director of the Health Ministry, told X that the al-Najjar family home was hit minutes after Dr. al-Najjar’s husband, Hamdi, returned home from dropping his wife off at work. Alboursh said Dr. al-Najjar’s eldest son was 12.
A doctor, Youssef Abu al-Rish, said in a statement published by the Ministry of Health that he arrived at the operating room and found Dr al-Najjar waiting for information about her only surviving son and that he tried to console her .
