    the army said that it had “identified a number of terrorists armed with anti-tank missiles” approaching troops in Shejaiyya, and called in a helicopter strike on them.

    It also said fighter jets had been striking terror targets in the Gaza Strip, as ground operations continued.

    The area of Zeitoun, where the family house once stood, is now the focus of fresh operations by the IDF.

    Everything is Hamas.

    This guy wasn’t a terrorist before, but he’s likely to become one after such a thing. And IDF should be the only ones to blame for whatever he decides to do.

      Hamas was created by Israel, and shit like this is how they did it. I lay the blame for every terrible thing Hamas has done directly at the feet of the IDF.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    When 103 relatives were killed in a strike on their family home in Gaza City, he was stuck 50 miles (80km) away, in the occupied West Bank town of Jericho.

    Unable to hold his children’s bodies or be at their hurried burials, he still speaks of them in the present tense, his face motionless beneath the rolling tears.

    It is now a mound of splintered concrete, the rubble shot through with bright dots of colour: a green plastic cup, shreds of dusty clothing.

    In response, the army said it was not aware of the strike in question, and that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) took “feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm” in its war with Hamas.

    There was intense fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas gunmen in the area of Shejaiyya, a few blocks south of the al-Ghuferi house, in the days immediately before and after Ahmad’s family were killed.

    In a daily update on 9 December, the army said that it had “identified a number of terrorists armed with anti-tank missiles” approaching troops in Shejaiyya, and called in a helicopter strike on them.
