43-year-old Mohammad Azo Yousef al-Yaziji (Abu Al-Amir) and 39-year-old Ramez Sufian Sobhi al-Midnh, both employees of the soft drink company Yazji Group, were killed by an alleged Israeli quadcopter drone strike in Gaza on 14 June 2025.

Abu al-Amir al-Yaziji, Mohammad’s son, specified that his father and Ramez were “on [their] way home from work [when they] were targeted by a quadcopter drone.” Their employer, the Yazji Group, is Gaza’s main soda producer and produces the Strip’s bulk of franchised soft drinks.

Moutaz Mohammad, a dear friend of Mohammad, was bereft at his loss: “His loss has had, and continues to have, a profound impact on our souls, a bitterness felt by the heart and beyond the power of words to describe.” Mohammed Ghazi Abu Sido considered him “beloved and dear,” someone who was “kind” and who he prayed “a thousand mercies and lights descend upon.” Others prayed that “God [would] have mercy” both on Mohammad and his surviving family, his “wife, children, and sisters.”

Photographs show Mohammad as a bearded man; one candid photograph from a happier time shows him on a boat, smiling widely and flinging his arms out, the spray of the sea behind him.

Friends were similarly distraught by Ramez’s killing. Marwan al-Madina wrote that despite Ramez’s death, his “spirit remains alive within us.” Abhawan, Ramez’s brother-in-law, emphasised that he was “a virtuous and kind man” and asked that those reading his post “please pray for mercy and forgiveness for him.” Photographs from Ramez’s personal Facebook show two men, one with his arm around the other, smiling in front of the sea.

Both men were from the Gaza governorate, towards the north of the Gaza Strip.

Both Mohammad and Ramez were matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health List of Fatalities in Gaza, first appearing in the ninth and tenth lists, respectively. Though these lists had different publication dates (the ninth being released on 23 June 2025 and the tenth on 16 July 2025) they both covered the same period.

Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed to the strike to the Israeli military.
