On October 10th, 2023, at least 14 people were killed, including five children and two women, while three others were injured after an alleged Israeli airstrike hit the Qadeeh residence in the Abasan area east of Khan Yunis.
Those killed and injured were members of the Qadeeh family: Rajab Qadeeh (69 years old) was killed and his son Shadi Rajab Qadeeh was injured. Shadi’s wife, Hanan Ibrahim Qadeeh (37 years old) was killed, along with their daughter, Maria Shadi Qadeeh (6 years old), and their two sons: Yassen Shadi Qadeeh* and Osama Shadi Qadeeh*. A post from the al-Siddiq Model School for Boys named Hanan as a former teacher, who taught Islamic education. A colleague named Ghada Ahmed posted a condolence message for Hanan and her three children.
Rajab’s other son, Shawqi Rajab Qadeeh (39 years old), was killed with his two children: daughter Amouna Rajab Qadeeh (2 years old), and his son*, who has not been named.
