34-year-old Ahmed Jamal Hassan Musa<\/strong> was killed alongside his wife\u00a0Asma Rizqa<\/strong>, his two sons, 6-year-old Muhammad Ahmed Jamal Musa<\/strong>, 1-year-old Youssef Ahmed Jamal Musa<\/strong> and his 4-year-old daughter Alma Ahmed Jamal Musa<\/strong>.

Ahmed\u2019s other niece, the daughter of his brother Hassan, Sila Hassan Jamal Musa<\/strong> (4) was also killed.<\/p>\n Family members and friends of the Musa family wrote tributes on social media where they described their grief.<\/p>\n Writing that he was \u201csaddened by your separation,\u201d family member Mohammed Mousa attached prayers for those he had lost, stating that \u201cthe eyes will shed tears and the heart will grieve.\u201d Still, others comforted themselves with the belief that though their \u201chearts [were] squeezing in pain,\u201d they had \u201csoul[s] content with God\u2019s will and destiny.\u201d<\/p>\n A Facebook account for the Basma al-Maghazi Elementary School, which the children attended, posted that they had \u201chearts torn with pain and blood over [the children\u2019s] separation.\u201d Though they were \u201cnot related by blood,\u201d they \u201chad a relationship of love and affection.\u201d<\/p>\n Muhammad Ahmed Musa was remembered as wise beyond his years: \u201chis words must be heard when he was not more than 7 years old.\u201d His sister, Alma, was remembered as \u201cshy and beautiful,\u201d and the infant Youssef was described as \u201calways smiling.\u201d Photos of the children, posing and smiling for the camera, were attached.<\/p>\n Extended family member Aseel Mousa, writing for the Telegraph, had been displaced to al-Maghazi, and was temporarily residing near his family. He emphasized that there was \u201cno prior notice, no warning, and no discernible reason for this assault.\u201d<\/p>\n The strike killed nine members of his family; all residents of the three-storey building. Hearing of the strike, Aseel rushed to the building, witnessing his father\u2019s fear as he searched for family members. \u201cI will never,\u201d Aseel wrote, \u201cforget the terror in my father\u2019s eyes at that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n The time of the strike remains unclear. While the Telegraph reported it occurred \u201cat about 11:35 am,\u201d Safa Press Service filed its initial report at 3:28.<\/p>\n Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces.<\/p>\n Where possible, names have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","country":[767],"belligerent":[438],"strike_type":[431],"cause_of_death":[448],"targeted_belligerents":[],"strike_status":[832],"civilian_harm_reported":[834],"civilian_harm_status":[837],"belligerent_assessment":[],"geolocation_assessor":[],"declassified_document":[900],"geolocation_status":[920],"observation":[1009,1007],"munition":[],"casualty":[959,957,958],"impact":[],"civilian_infrastructure":[1022],"documentation":[],"class_list":["post-107145","civ","type-civ","status-publish","hentry","country-the-gaza-strip","belligerent-israeli-military","strike_type-airstrike","cause_of_death-heavy-weapons-and-explosive-munitions","strike_status-likely-strike","civilian_harm_reported-yes","civilian_harm_status-fair","declassified_document-no","geolocation_status-unassigned","observation-multi-story-building","observation-no-warning","casualty-children","casualty-men","casualty-women","civilian_infrastructure-residential-building"],"acf":{"latitude":"","longitude":"","geolocation_accuracy":"","multiple_location_incident":null,"geolocations":null,"geojson":"","show_geolocation_caption":false,"geojson_caption":"","media_geolocation":null,"geolocation_notes":"","geolocation_sources":null,"show_internal_notes":false,"internal_geolocation_notes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/civ\/107145"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/civ"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/civ"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"belligerent","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/belligerent?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"strike_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/strike_type?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"cause_of_death","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cause_of_death?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"targeted_belligerents","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/targeted_belligerents?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"strike_status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/strike_status?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"civilian_harm_reported","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/civilian_harm_reported?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"civilian_harm_status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/civilian_harm_status?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"belligerent_assessment","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/belligerent_assessment?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"geolocation_assessor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/geolocation_assessor?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"declassified_document","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/declassified_document?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"geolocation_status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/geolocation_status?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"observation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/observation?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"munition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/munition?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"casualty","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/casualty?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"impact","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/impact?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"civilian_infrastructure","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/civilian_infrastructure?post=107145"},{"taxonomy":"documentation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documentation?post=107145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
