Ahmad al-Ghuferi's wife, mother and daughters were killed when a strike hit the home where they sheltered.

Don't misinterpret this as a slight to the main topic, but I am unable to imagine 110 people living together in one house.

@Infiltrated_ad8271 Gaza has a huge housing shortage as they lose more and more of their land and houses to "settlers" each year. They also have a lot of diffuculty getting building materials because of the blockades.

If you read this article about housing it talks about a guy building his house on the second story of a family member's house.

And the photos are basically showing us low rise apartment blocks. So by 'house' I think it means a small apartment block.

IDF bombed 4 of them too so maybe some of the extended family were in those.

There haven't been any settlers in Gaza since 2005, what are you talking about? You mean the West Bank?

The four-storey building where the family was killed sat around the corner from the Sahaba Medical Centre in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighbourhood.

~25 people a floor.

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.

I mean they are terror targets alright, targets of terror bombings.

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.

I’d like to propose a change from Defense Force to Occupation Forces.

Defense force that engages in committing genocide, where have I heard that before.

They could rebrand to some sort of ᛋealous ᛋionist Protection Squadron.

The parallels are so ridiculous you'd almost think they made it on purpose.

I thought peace keepers were a cheesy name in hunger games but evidently not
