Translation of the caption:

“‘Let me hold him until I’ve had my fill of him—I won’t see him again after this. And come to me in a dream so I can see you.’ A Palestinian mother bidding farewell to six of her sons from the Abu Mahadi family, who were killed together when the occupation bombed a civilian car west of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.”

Around 8 am, an Israeli airstrike targeted a van on Al-Rashid Street, killing all six brothers from the Abu Mahadi family, in addition to a seventh minor. They were travelling in a civilian vehicle when struck on the road. They were volunteers providing food to displaced people and those in need

The brothers' father, Muhammad Abu Mahadi, suffered a stroke hours later.
