During the night of Monday, October 23rd, 2023 or the early morning of Tuesday, October 24th, at least seven people were killed and dozens were injured in an alleged Israeli airstrike on the Abu Hussein family home next to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, Gaza Strip. According to multiple sources, eight people were missing after the strike. The names of the casualties and missing are currently unknown.

At 9:15 am on October 24th, the Palestinian Press Agency (Safa PS) reported “7 martyrs and dozens of injuries, 8 missing as a result of the Israeli bombing of the Abu Hussein family next to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.” This was also reported by Palinfo and Quds News.

A video posted on Facebook by Palestine Post shows drone footage of the Abu Hussein family home after it was destroyed.

A series of photographs shared by al-Shariq Palestine shows a crowd of people searching through the pile of rubble. In one of the images, two men appear to be carrying a body wrapped in a carpet away from the ruins.
