AP investigation concludes that “entire families have been decimated” in Gaza

In the course of the Israeli war against Gaza, entire Palestinian families are being murdered in unprecedented numbers.

Entire families, often four generations of the same family, were killed in single or multiple attacks on family members seeking shelter from the bombs.

A Related Press The investigation found that at least 25 people were killed in bombings in at least 60 Palestinian households between October and December, the bloodiest and most destructive chapter of the war, which is now entering its ninth month.

The main findings of the analysis show that in many families there is hardly anyone left alive to register the victims and that thousands are unable to find all of their relatives because so many people are still lying under the rubble.

The APThe investigation included records published by the Gaza Health Ministry up to March, online obituaries, social media sites and tables from families and neighborhoods, accounts from witnesses and survivors, and statistics from Airwars, a London-based conflict monitor.

Between 7 October and 24 December AP Ten Israeli attacks were geolocated and analyzed; they are among the bloodiest of the ongoing genocide and resulted in the deaths of nearly 500 Palestinians.

The Mughrabi family was one of the most affected families. Around 70 people were killed in a single Israeli airstrike in December. In October, more than 50 members of the Abu Najas family were killed in attacks, including at least two pregnant mothers.

The huge Doghmush tribe lost at least 44 members in an attack on a mosque, and 100 weeks later that number rose to over 80; by spring, over 80 members of the Abu al-Qumssan family had been murdered.

The ten strikes examined AP Those most affected were residential buildings, houses and emergency shelters where parents, children and grandparents sought refuge and safety. There was no identifiable military target and no clear warning to the people inside. The Salem family lost at least 270 members in total.

At one point they raised a white flag over their building and refused to evacuate because no place was safe anymore.

More than 170 family members were killed in two explosions eight days apart. Three attacks within four weeks killed 30 members of al-Agha, while a series of attacks in a refugee camp in December killed 106 members of at least four families.

In an attack on the overcrowded Jabalia refugee camp in the north of the Gaza Strip, Israeli bombs destroyed an entire block of houses and killed nearly 40 members of the Abu al-Qumssan family.

The murder of families across generations is a crucial aspect of the International Court of Justice’s argument against “Israel.”

Craig Jones, a lecturer at Newcastle University who has researched the role of Israel’s military lawyers, said the occupying power had lowered its standards for civilian casualties out of anger.

The laws of war allow for a “kind of hasty warfare” with increased civilian casualties, requiring the armed forces to react quickly and under changing conditions. Yet Israel is clearly violating the law by pushing the rules so far, he explained.

Everyone in my family was either killed or injured: Nuseirat massacre

Shock and grief are a common thread running through the streets of the Nuseirat refugee camp after 274 Palestinians of all ages, but mainly children, were massacred in cold blood last week, the Gaza Health Ministry said.

The harrowing images of the latest massacre reverberated around the world, sparking a wave of widespread protests and demonstrations. From the busy streets of Chicago to remote villages in Pakistan, people everywhere are united in their condemnation of Israeli atrocities in Gaza.

Two eyewitnesses, Asia al-Nemer, who was looking for a pharmacy with leftover stocks of her sister’s medicine, and Ansam Haroun, who wanted to buy new clothes for her daughters to cheer them up before Eid al-Adha, described the horrors of the Israeli massacre. The guard reported.

Earlier this year, this part of central Gaza was deserted when Israeli troops swept through and destroyed Haroun’s house in an airstrike. Since May, however, the area has experienced a population surge as over a million people have been forcibly displaced north to escape further Israeli aggression against the Nuseirat refugee camp.

“The Nuseirat market is always busy, but right now it is even busier than usual because of the large number of displaced people,” says 29-year-old Haroun, who is currently living with an uncle.

She told, as quoted by The guard, that she was looking for clothes for her daughters when the first Israeli air strikes began. Almost instinctively, she rushed out the door to get to them.

Outside, she saw a scene reminiscent of “the horrors of the Last Judgement”: the panicked crowd tried to flee the impending attack. Helicopters and quadcopters soon joined the attack, resulting in hundreds of casualties and bodies scattered in the streets, as images from the area show.

“Everyone was screaming and scared,” she said, quoted by The guard.

“The road I was on was only 50 metres long, but it was packed with hundreds of people, all running. A woman next to me fainted in fear, and I saw traders leaving their goods on the side of the road to flee,” she stressed.

El-Nemer, a 37-year-old software engineer originally from northern Gaza, was also among those who witnessed the Israeli massacre.

“I was jogging down the street with other women. We were terrified,” she said.

They rushed past health centers and schools where they might once have sought refuge but which they now avoid due to targeted Israeli attacks on such facilities.
