More than 10 months into its war with Hamas, Israel’s relentless bombardment of the isolated territory has wiped out extended Palestinian families.

A few miles to the north, Mohamed Abuel-Qomasan lost his wife and their twin babies — just four days old — in another strike.late Monday destroyed a home near the southern city of Khan Younis, killing 10 people.
His wife, Joumana Arafa, a pharmacist, had given birth by Cesarean section four days ago and announced the twins' arrival on Facebook. On Tuesday, he had gone to register the births at a local government office. While he was there, neighbors called to say the home where he was sheltering, near the central city of Deir al-Balah, had been bombed.The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the strikes.
Israel's offensive has left thousands of orphans — so many that local doctors employ an acronym when registering them: WCNSF, or “wounded child, no surviving family.” The United Nations estimated in February that some 17,000 children in Gaza are now unaccompanied, and the number is likely to have grown since.
The vast majority of Gaza's population has fled their homes, often multiple times. The coastal strip, which is just 25 miles long by about 7 miles wide, has been completely sealed off by Israeli forces since May.
