Israeli strike wipes out Palestinian family in Gaza

Palestinian media say an entire family has been removed from Gaza’s civil registry following an Israeli air strike on the town of Bani Suhaila, east of Khan oYunis.

The attack killed Tariq Muhammad Abu Hajras, his wife, and their five children, according to local reports. The strike completely destroyed their home.

This is the latest in a series of incidents where entire families have been erased from official records due to the scale of casualties in single air strikes.
