Civilians rush to rescue children end elderly after Israel bombed the Sabra neighborhood

Original Social Media Post

"The moment an Israeli occupation drone struck a home belonging to the Al-Sawafiri family near the Abdullah Azzam Mosque in Al-Sabra, southern Gaza City, on Thursday evening, killing Intisar Talal Abu Asr and a child, Hossam Abu Asr, and wounding around 10 others, several of them critically. The strike came shortly after the Israeli occupation army issued evacuation orders for Al-Sabra and other areas across the Strip, leaving residents almost no time to get out before the bombs fell, which is why so many of the wounded were still inside. A fire broke out at the site and spread to neighbouring homes as residents appealed for civil defence crews to reach them. The attack came on the 365th day of a ceasefire signed in Sharm el-Sheikh, which the Israeli occupation has violated every single day since. sal7h_zz (IG)" - Source
