Israeli forces have been bombed throughout Gaza since the early hours of the morning, killing more than 400 Palestinians and wounding more than 500.
With many children and women among the deaths, the victim figures are expected to only rise. The whole family has been wiped out once more, and local governments are appealing to the public for blood donation.
Israeli bombing campaign came without warning, cHe is awake to witness an extension of what the United Nations calls “hell on Earth.”
Dozens of videos in circulation on Tuesday showed civilians looking for their loved ones under the tiled rub of morgues and destroyed homes.
Some of the victims of Israel’s latest attacks include:
Family massacred in Gaza city
Ramie Abdu, chairman of the Euromediturn Human Rights Monitor, lost her sister and her whole family after her home was bombed in Gaza city, north of the enclave at 4:30am (2:30am).
He says that Nesleen and her son and daughters Ubaida, Omar and Lian were all killed, while Ubaida’s wife, Malak and her little children, Siwal and Mohammed, were killed.
The family survived many previous Israeli air attacks over the years, destroying their homes and entire neighborhoods by Israeli bombs early in the war.
Israel killed my sister and her children tonight along with the whole family.
Israel will kill us freely, burn us alive and tore us, but it will never succeed in uprooting us from the land.
Justice and accountability await you – how long does it take?

“Israel may kill us freely, burn us alive and tear us apart, but we will never succeed in uprooting us from the land,” Abdu wrote in his X-account, calling for accountability.
In Gaza city, footage broadcast by Palestinians on Instagram, verified by Al Jazeera, showed scenes of people injured on the ground as a result of an Israeli attack that struck a group of people near Al Lantisi Children’s Hospital.
The doctor and her whole family were killed
Approximately 30 minutes after the murder of Abdu’s family in the north, the Gaza doctors and her family were wiped out in the south.
Dr. Majda Abu Aker, an obstetric gynaecology expert at Unrwa Clinic in Rafa, was massacred by an Israeli air attack at her home in Rafa’s Aljanaina district.
At least 10 of the Palestinians who were killed were members of the same family, including several women and their children. The youngest child was a 3-day-old infant.

More civilians killed in attacks on South Gaza
Another 15 people, most of them members of the Barhoum family, were named as killed in Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
The area was designated as a so-called “humanitarian zone” by the Israeli forces during the war, but that did not stop Israeli fighters from repeatedly attacking Almawasi to attack fatal effects.
Six families were killed in the city of Abasan, east of nearby Khan Eunice, as they fled an Israeli bomb.
Their vehicles were directly collided and destroyed by air attacks, killing all six of them, reported Al Jazeera on the ground.
Also in the south of Khan Yunis, another family member was left behind by a family member after two young children were killed by an Israeli bomb.
The child’s aunt Heba al-Hindi announced the news on Facebook.
“Dear children, May God have mercy on you and give patience to your mother and father,” she wrote, lamenting Byzantine and her brother Ayman.
Translation: Ayman and Bissan are martyrs together with God. Dear God gives us strength, God gives you my sister, SOAD, may He gives you strength and patience.
“My children died of hunger.”
A video of Khan Eunice, verified by Sanad’s fact-checking agency in Al Jazeera, showed a Palestinian woman lying in tears as she said goodbye to her child and husband.
“My children died of hunger. I swear they couldn’t find food for Suhole. My daughter fasted without Suhole,” the woman said.
To Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, she said, “I am a mother with a heart burning heart, and may God burn your heart over your children.”
Family finds the body after a few hours of search
In Jabaria to the north, the family was forced to spend hours searching to find ruins of their loved ones who had been brutally killed by the devastating effects of Israeli bombs.
The horrifying footage, verified by Al Jazeera, shows a large crater left by the bomb in the destroyed building, showing parts of its body being thrown at the tree.
Jabaria and its refugee camps have been subject to some of the most devastating Israeli attacks since the start of the war with Gaza on October 7, 2023.
Many of the Jabaria were destroyed a few weeks before the January 19th ceasefire with Hamas, when Israel was crushed again.
The Israeli army has killed at least 48,577 Palestinians and injured 112,041 since the start of the war. Thousands were also estimated to be missing or dead under the tile rub, pushing the total to more than 61,000 deaths.
