Airwars assessment
On June 21st 2024, shortly before 2:45 AM, an alleged Israeli airstrike and/or artillery strike hit the al-Ghaz family house in al-Tuffah, a neighbourhood located northeast of Gaza City. Sources reported that the strike killed four members of the al-Ghaz family and injured a number of civilians. Posting on Facebook the day after the strike, Helme al-Medana and Israa, Majd, and Ruba al-Ghaz named members of their family Abu Ali al-Ghaz and Abu Ali’s son Muhammad al-Ghaz; and Khaled al-Ghaz and Khaled’s son Yazan al-Ghaz as killed.
Habiba Hamoudi also posted on Facebook in honour of her husband, Muhammad.
Reporting on the day of the strike, the Shehab Agency, Quds Press, and three other sources available to Airwars reported a number of injuries, but did not specify the exact number of those injured.
According to their Facebook accounts, Abu Ali and Muhammad both studied at al-Azhar University, and Khaled worked at Ma’an News Agency.
