Airwars assessment
During the afternoon of October 15th 2023, the Al-Jamal family home in Al-Nuseirat refugee camp was struck by an alleged Israeli aerial bombardment, killing 10 members across three generations and injuring an unknown number of others.
Grandfather 64 year old Dr. Azmi Al Jamal and his wife 60 year old Hanan Al Jamal were killed alongside their son, Mustafa Azmi Al Jamal (33 years old), and their two daughters, Soundous Azmi Al Jamal (27 years old) and Souad Azmi Al Jamal (36 years old). The incident, which happened on Sunday afternoon according to Ayman Al-Jamal (Dr. Azmi’s nephew), also killed Souad’s two sons, Omar (Karam) Abo Zayed and Jana Abo Zayed (12), as well as three more grandchildren of Azmi and Hanan, named Nada Al Jamal (6) and Mustafa Al Jamal (1). Yaser M Awad, a cousin of Dr. Azmi, added that Ola Houssam Al Jamal (30 years old), the daughter of their maternal uncle Hossam Al Jamal, was also killed. Their residence was situated at Al-Zuhur Junction, opposite to the Al-Zohour Pharmacy, in the Nuseirat refugee camp located in the central Gaza Strip.
The cousins of Dr. Azmi Al Jamal, Yaser M. Awad and Abo Moeen Damo, as well as his niece, Zainab Abdel Salam, extended their condolences and sympathy to the family on Facebook. Zainab described Soundous as her “friend, childhood companion, and school and university classmate”, while another acquaintance, named Asma Rabh, used the endearing terms “lifelong companion” and “my soul” to refer to Souad Azmi Al Jamal after her passing. Dr. Azmi’s brother, Essam Al Jamal, stated that “the rest of the people in the house, including my brothers and their children, sustained varying injuries” on a Facebook post from the same day and @Alsharawmo mentioned “injuries”. However, it is unknown how many people were injured. According to Mohammed Adel, the Al-Jamal family was “deleted from the Palestinian civil registry” meaning that all members of the family had been killed.
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.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces. According to a testimony posted on Facebook by Khalil Al-Ghafari, the house was “destroyed without warning”.
