I’m Sure This Post Is Antisemitic

An Israeli airstrike hit the home of a doctor in Gaza on Friday and killed nine of her ten children.

Dr Alaa al-Najjar, a paediatrician in the Nasser Medical Complex, was at work when the strike hit her home in the Qizan Al-Najjar area, south of Khan Younis.

One child and her husband survived, but were severely injured and in intensive care. The youngest child killed in the attack, Sidar, was less than 12 months old.

The mother of ten, had left home early that morning to work with her husband, who is also a doctor at the Nasser, driving her to work.

Just minutes after he returned home, a missile struck their house. The eldest of the nine children who died, Yahya, was 12 years old. Their bodies brought into the morgue of the hospital where Al-Najjar works.

But it’s okay, because:

An Israeli military spokesman said on Saturday that an aircraft struck “a number of suspects who were identified operating from a structure adjacent to IDF troops” in Khan Younis.

“The area is a dangerous war zone. Before beginning operations there, the IDF evacuated civilians from this area for their own safety. The claim regarding harm to uninvolved civilians is under review,” he added.

It’s not like somebody was shot on the streets of D.C.  Somebody with hopes and dreams and family and stuff. Somebody with ties to Israel…instead of Gaza.
