“The wife, son, daughter and grandson of Wael al-Dahdu, the office manager of the Arab Service in Gaza, have been killed in an Israeli airstrike,” Al-Jazeera said on Thursday evening.
The Israeli military said on Thursday that the military had attacked “Hamas terrorist infrastructure” in the area.
According to Al-Jazeera, al-Dahdu’s family had sought shelter in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Nuseirat is located in the center of the Gaza Strip, south of the Wadi Gaza riverbed.
The Israeli army had previously urged residents of the northern part to move south of Wadi Gaza “for their safety.” Since then, several hundred thousand residents have found their way there. The army later set the boundary for the ‘safe area’ even further south on a map distributed on X.
