At least five people, including a woman and a child, were killed and dozens injured after an alleged Israeli airstrike hit the Ismail family residence located in the new refugee camp in Nuseirat, Gaza Strip.

Ayman Ismail Abu Bakr, a shopkeeper, was killed, along with his sons 22-year-old Ahmad Ayman Ismail and 25-year-old Mohammed Ayman Ismail. 24-year-old Abeer Ismail was also killed, along with her son, who remains unnamed.

Ahmed worked in his father’s supermarket with his brothers, and was remembered on social media for his “kindness,” “laughter” and “smile.”

Multiple sources mentioned “wounded” while Maher Al Hijazi was the only source to specify “dozens of injuries”. The wounded were taken to the al-Aqsa Hospital, along with the deceased.

Where possible, Airwars has matched names with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of nearly 7000 victims’ names and ID numbers released on October 26th
