Late in the evening on October 10th or the early October 11th 2023, alleged Israeli airstrikes hit the Ashour family home in the Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood, next to Shafut, of Gaza City and killed four civilians: brothers Said Ashour and Abdulrahman Nasser Ashour, and father and son Robin Ashour (also Rubin) and Ahmed Ashour. Hosam Azzam, a resident of Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood, alleged the strike occurred without warning. The Ahsour family reported the family home was reduced to rubble due to the bombing.

By October 11th, multiple Facebook users posted eulogies for the four civilians, including their neighbour Hosam Azzam. Hosam called Said Ashour his “source of strength” and considered him an older brother. A Facebook account for the area, Al-Zaytoun Neighborhood, reported their deaths on October 12.

The Shuhada Al-Zaytoun Basic School for Boys extended their sympathy to one of their teachers, “Rami Robin Ashour”, for the death of his father and brother Robin and Ahmed Ashour.

Where possible, names have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
