On Friday 20th of October 2023, at least two civilian members of the Hadayed family, an infant and a woman, were killed, and a number of others were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Hadayed family home in the Sheikh Nasser neighbourhood in Khan Yunis, South of the Gaza Strip.
The Hadayed Family Gathering page on Facebook reported that the alleged bombing took place at dawn, and that it led to the death of a woman and an infant child along with the injury of a number of others. The names of the victims were not provided.
This incident was further corroborated on Twitter/X by two local news sources: PalpostN and Alaqsavoice_Brk both stated the Hadayed family house was one of the many houses destroyed in bombings in Khan Yunis.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.
