Event Notes

Late night apartment bombing in Gaza City

Around 1:30 a.m., an Israeli airstrike struck an apartment in the ground floor of Al-Asala residential building, opposite Al-Yaziji Bakery west of Haider Roundabout in western Gaza City. Five people were killed including four women: a Christian mother and daughter, along with another mother and her daughter.

This massacre brings the death toll of Palestinian Christians killed by Israel in the Gaza genocide to 30.

The IDF justified the massacre by claiming it was targeting a senior Hamas official who it claims was residing in an apartment "used for terror activity, inside a residential building".

Names of the martyrs:

  1. Mary Hafez Michel Al-Najjar "Abu Dawud"
  2. Maysa Khader Ibrahim Abu Dawud (Maria's mother)
  3. Dr. Yasmin Khamis Al-Bobo (Academic, Head of the Multimedia Department at University of Palestine)
  4. Halloum Al-Bobo (Yasmin's mother)
  5. Bilal Ali Khalil Ouda (21 y/o)
