Israeli Strike on Al-Shifa Director’s Family Home Kills Relatives During His Shift

A recent UN inquiry concluded Israel committed genocide in Gaza, a finding Israel rejects.

Overview

  • Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya said six family members were killed and seven others wounded when his relatives’ house in Gaza City’s Al Shati camp was hit.
  • A video shared by Gaza’s Health Ministry showed the Al-Shifa hospital director kneeling beside the bodies of his relatives while still in his medical gown.
  • Gaza Civil Defence reported rescuing four injured people and recovering three bodies at the site, with one person still trapped under the rubble.
  • The Israeli military did not provide an immediate explanation or comment when asked about the strike on the family home.
  • Israel’s intensified push in Gaza City has driven large-scale displacement, with officials citing roughly 450,000 to 480,000 people uprooted, as the Gaza Health Ministry reports more than 65,000 deaths since October 2023.
