Airwars assessment
In the evening of July 15th 2024, an alleged Israeli military bombardment killed two men from the same family, named Kamel Ahmed Siam and Darwish Sharif Siam. The incident occurred in the Siam (Siamat) neighbourhood, north of Rafah City, the Gaza Strip, and was reported by multiple sources. Among these sources was the Safa Press Agency, which reported the killings at 18:15 on July 15.
Sources blamed either Israeli shelling or airstrikes as killing Kamel and Darwish. The Qatar News Agency reported that voluntary first aid teams recovered the bodies of Kamel and Darwish Siam from the Siam neighbourhood and transferred them to Nasser Hospital in neighbouring Khan Younis.
Family members of Kamel and Darwish confirmed their deaths and posted a number of condolence messages online expressing their grief. Facebook user, Ola K. Siam, confirmed that Kamel, her uncle, and Darwish, her cousin, had been killed and offered her condolences to her family, the wife of Darwish, and her cousins. She prayed for patience and solace in the aftermath of their deaths.
Likewise, Umm Saleh expressed her sorrow for the loss of her uncle Kamel and her cousin, Darwish. On Facebook, Mostafa Fayez also confirmed the deaths of his “cousin, Darwish Siam and…cousin, Kamel Siam” in a condolence post via Facebook. He shared the pictures of the dead bodies of the two deceased men in the white shrouds.
Where possible, names have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released September 16, 2024.
