Event Notes
Mother killed and child orphaned in pre-dawn strike on apartmentAround 4:10 am, an Israeli airstrike targeted an apartment near the ABu Talal intersection in the west of Gaza City.
The strike killed a widowed mother and set the apartment on fire. Journalist Ali Al-Jafarawi who documented the scene, rescued the mother's little daughter from the fire and suffered from smoke inhalation.
The child Maryam Ahmed Mahmoud Ghanem was two and a half years old at the time. She suffered third-degree burns. Her father, Ahmed Ghanem, was killed in December 2023. Israel's murder of her mother made her effectively one of Gaza's thousands of orphans.
Names of the martyrs:
- Reem As'ad Awad (33 y/o)
