Newborn twins killed by an Israeli attack on Gaza while their father was recording them

No wonder, son, and Ayssel, a girl, were only four days old when their father Mohammed Abu al-Qumsan, went to receive their birth certificates.

While he was not there, the neighbors called him to show him that his home in Deir al Balah was bombed.

His wife and twin grandmother were also killed in the attack.

I don't know what happened. I was told it was a missile that hit the” house, he said.

I didn't have time to enjoy the birth of them”, he added.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza has said 115 newborn babies have been killed in this country since the war began.

The Israeli Army says it tries to avoid harming Palestinian civilians and blaming Hamas' death on the declared US and EU terrorist group, saying its militants operate in residential areas, sometimes taking refuge among civilians and carrying out attacks from home, schools, mosques and other civilian buildings.

However, the army rarely comments on individual attacks, as a result of which children and women are often killed.

Israel says its aim is to destroy Hamas after the October 7th attack, in which the Gaza militants stormed south of Israel and killed 1,200 people and kidnapped about 250 others.

After a round of exchanges in November, Israel says 111 hostages are also being held in Gaza, including the lifeless bodies of 39 hostages.

Israel's Gaza war has since left about 40,000 Palestinians dead and more than 91,700 others injured, according to health officials in enclaves.

More than 1.9 million of the total population of 2.3 million inhabitants of the pre-war Gaza have been forced to flee their homes, constantly moving across small territory to flee the war. / REL
