An Israeli airstrike conducted on Wednesday night in the Al-Salam neighborhood of Rafah resulted in the tragic deaths of eight individuals from the Ayyad family. The family, who had been displaced from Gaza City, were the sole victims of this devastating attack.

The airstrike, which targeted the southern part of Rafah, led to the immediate loss of five children among the casualties. The bodies of the victims were swiftly transported to the Abu Yousuf Najjar hospital, where hospital officials confirmed the identities of the deceased.

As the community mourns the loss of these eight family members, questions arise regarding the circumstances surrounding the airstrike. Source has reached out to the Israeli military for their response to this tragic event, seeking clarity and accountability in the wake of this devastating loss.
