A Palestinian man mourns his 4-day-old twin relatives who were killed in the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, as he holds their birth certificates at a hospital morgue in Deir al-Balah Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2024. DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Reem Abu Hayyah, just three months old, was the only member of her family to survive an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip late Monday.
The strike that killed Abuel-Qomasan’s wife and newborns — a boy, Asser, and a girl, Ayssel — also killed the twins’ maternal grandmother. As he sat in a hospital, stunned into near-silence by the loss, he held up the twins’ birth certificates. Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted around 250 in the Oct. 7 attack into southern Israel that ignited the war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has often said that “they killed parents in front of their children and children in front of their parents” to illustrate the brutality of the attack, most recently in his address to the U.S. Congress last month.
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.
