A Khan Younis doctor’s family was nearly killed by an Israeli attack while she was working, according to Gaza health officials.
According to Ahmad al-Farra, head of the hospital’s paediatrics department, the attack hit Alaa al-Najjar’s home on Friday, causing nine of her 10 children to burn inside.
According to a statement from Gaza’s Government Media Office, Al-Najjar’s husband has been seriously hurt, and Adam, the couple’s only child, is in critical condition.
According to the media office, the dead children range in age from seven months to twelve years old, with two of them still submerged.
The office claimed that the attack “capsulates the Palestinian people’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.” Under all international laws and conventions, it qualifies as a full-fledged war crime.
“New phase of genocide”
Francesca Albanese, the UN’s special rapporteur for the besieged enclave, criticized the attack as part of a “new phase of genocide” facing Palestinians in the besieged enclave.

Hamas claimed to have deliberately targeted medical personnel, civilians, and their families in an effort to “break their will” in a pattern that Israel has practiced.
In an area where civilians had been evacuated, the Israeli military reported striking suspected fighters operating from a structure next to its forces. The military continued, “The claim that harm is being caused by uninvolved civilians is being looked at.”
Israel notified Khan Younis, the second-largest city in Gaza, on Monday by imposing “unprecedented attack” warnings. Daily, deadly amounts of bombing are being carried out in the area.
In addition to the al-Najjar children, numerous others have died in the attacks by Israel on Friday and Saturday.
79 people who were killed in Israeli attacks were taken to hospitals between Friday and Saturday, according to Gaza’s health ministry. Facilities that are inaccessible in the north of the enclave are not included in that figure, it claimed.
