03-20, 2025Abdu stated on social platform X that his sister, Nisreen, her husband, Muhammad Dawoud Jamasi, and their three children—Ubayda, Omar, and Rayan—were killed in the attack. Also killed were Ubayda's wife, Malaka, and their children, Siwar and Muhammad. Abdu's post included heartbreaking photos of his sister, nieces, and nephews, showcasing the devastating human cost of the conflict.
In another post, Abdu shared a video of his niece, Rayan, taken just minutes before the 2021 airstrike near Gaza City. He also stated on X: "Israel can kill us as it pleases, burn us alive, tear us apart, but it will never uproot us from our land. Justice and accountability will come—however long it takes," demonstrating his unwavering commitment to seeking justice for the victims and holding those responsible accountable.
It has also been reported that Israel unilaterally ended the ceasefire agreement with Hamas and launched a series of bloody airstrikes on five cities in Gaza around 3:00 AM local time, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians, including more than 100 children. The Palestinian Ministry of Health stated that the death toll has exceeded 404, with another 564 injured. Emergency rescue teams are working to rescue victims still trapped under the rubble, facing immense challenges in the aftermath of the attacks.
Footage broadcast by Al Jazeera showed children and infants among the dead and wounded. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that medical facilities throughout Gaza are overwhelmed by the large number of casualties, with entire families reportedly flooding into hospitals. Medical facilities in the Gaza Strip are facing shortages of basic medical supplies, including gauze and painkillers. The region's health ministry has called for blood donations to meet the overwhelming demand, emphasizing the critical need for international assistance.
Following the airstrikes, the Israeli military issued mandatory evacuation orders for Beit Hanoun, Khirbet Khuza'a, Abasan Kabira, and Abasan Jadida. Avichay Adraee, the Israeli military's Arabic-language spokesman, announced on X that the military had launched a "large-scale offensive" against "terrorist organizations" and considered the targeted areas to be "dangerous combat zones," raising concerns about the safety and well-being of civilians in these areas.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that he had instructed the military to take "strong action" against Hamas in Gaza, accusing the group of refusing to release captives and rejecting all ceasefire proposals. "From now on, Israel will act against Hamas with increasing military force," the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement, signaling a potential escalation of the conflict and further challenges to achieving a lasting peace.
