Survivor from the Israeli air strike in Gaza against civilian areas said that Israel targeted his house, killing all members of his family without warning.
The evacuation warning came shortly after dark. The Israeli military fired the shot just a short distance from Nasser Abu Quta’s home in the southern blockaded Gaza enclave, a precautionary measure meant to allow people to evacuate before air strikes.
But the house of Abu Quta’s neighbour was never hit. In an instant, an explosion ripped through his own home, wiping out 19 members of his family, including his wife and cousins, he said. The air strike also killed five of his neighbours who were standing outside in the jam-packed refugee camp, a jumble of buildings and alleyways.
“This is a safe house, with children and women,” Abu Quta, still shell-shocked, said as he recalled the tragedy in fragments of detail. “Dust overwhelmed the house. There were screams,” he said. “There were no walls. It was all open.” But human rights groups have previously said that Israel’s pattern of deadly attacks on residential homes display a disregard for the lives of Palestinian civilians and argued they may amount to war crimes.
