Summary
Palestinian journalist from Gaza, living in the UK at the time of ‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza, whose entire family of 21 was killed when the Israeli Air Force bombed their home in Deir al-Balah on October 22, 2023 (lines 268-276).
Details
- Ahmed is a close friend and colleague of Yuval Abraham; four years earlier they founded a Hebrew Facebook page called “Across the Wall” to bring Palestinian voices from Gaza to the Israeli public (line 268).
- The strike killed his father, brothers, sisters and all of their children, including babies; his 12-year-old niece Malak survived and remained in a critical condition, her body covered in burns, and a few days later Malak died. None of the 21 killed were militants; the youngest was 2 years old and the oldest, his father, 75 (lines 270-272).
- His family WhatsApp group is titled “Better Together”; his last message there, a little after midnight on the night he lost his family, was “Someone let me know that everything is fine” and no one answered (line 276).
