On October 24th, 2023, two infant twins, Sarah Hassan and Omar Hassan were reportedly injured as a result of an alleged Israeli bombardment on the Hassan family home in the Jabalia camp, north of Gaza. Many local sources, including Facebook posts from users Iman Hareedy, and Mosad Bakr, along with the Shehab News Agency claimed that the twins were rescued after their home was hit. Iman further explained that the twins were under two months old, stating “their age does not exceed 50 days.”

Images attached to sources show the babies, swaddled, with cuts on their foreheads. Other photographs show them receiving medical care. It is unknown if their parents were also harmed in the strike.

All sources attributed the strike to the Israeli military.
