On the night of October 11th 2023, at least 10 members of the Bardawil family were killed and more than 25 others were injured in their home in al-Hasayna area in Nuseirat in the Gaza Strip when it was hit by airstrikes allegedly carried out by the Israeli military.

A Facebook post from Kanary Al-Sabah reported that their grandfather Abu Khalil Bardawil’s house in Nuseirat was bombed, and a post from Zead.awad.378 documented the names of those killed: Hanan Muhammad Mahmoud Bardawil, Reham Youssef Muhammad Al-Bardawil, Sondos Reham Mahmoud Al-Azaib, Youssef Muhammad Khamis Bardawil, Shaima Amin Abdel Fattah Al-Bardawil, Muhannad Ziyad Mahmoud Al-Azaib (child), Ziyad Mahmoud Salim Al-Azaib, Rand Sameh Muhammad Abu Khoussa, Yazan Ahmed Ibrahim Al-Bardawil (child), Basil Bardawil.

The same source noted that there were “still other family members missing under the rubble of the house”.

Abdulrahman tweeted that 10 people were killed and 25 others were injured in the Bardawil family home. Zyad Awad reported that “a number of innocent children” were killed in the bombing of the Bardawil family.

A video posted by @Jales_tinian2 identified a boy who was injured during the strike who lost his mother, father, siblings, and his unborn brother who was due to be born in a month. The same source also specified that three children were among those killed.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces. Multiple sources also reported that the strike happened without warning.
