"Here is pt 2 of the video:"Hala say Sufficient for us is Allah, and He is the best Disposer of affairs! ! "This is a new massacre by the Occupying forces, the fascist army, the Nazi army. There is no one except us two. Here is my wife, we called everyone and no one answered us.""

Archivist Notes On This Video

His two sons, his mother, his sisters and their children and his wife were all killed and burried under the rubble. Palestinian civil defense told them they can't get to them because the soldiers were stationed near and it was too dangerous.

Tareq and his daughter waited HOURS for someone to help them as they were around the bodies of their dead family, as his daughter can only see parts of her murdered mother .In the end, they took the risk as they were surrounded by danger + left on their own. Family still buried.

This video he posted haunts me. It haunts me because I see he sorrow in my family's eyes as they witness their friends and neighbours suffer alone, it haunts me because what is someone supposed to worry about? Mourning their loved ones? Escaping Israeli snipers? What is this..

The bodies were retrieved form under the rubble on August 24, after IDF withdrawal form Hamad City: https://x.com/gazanotice/status/1827316090277364110

Archivist Notes: Abu Hadrous family massacre

The 2-storey home of the Abu Hadrous family was struck by an Israeli airstrike on the night of August 21 in Khan Younis. The father, Tareq Abu Hadrous, recorded the aftermath from the debris of his destroyed home, where only he and his daughter survived, while 10 family members perished or remain buried under the rubble.

The father told the Gaza Civil Defense that out of his family of 16, 4 were not at home, whereas 10 were killed and/or under the rubble including his wife, daughter, sister and nieces.

The Civil Defense and the father coordinated about a rescue. However, the target area was noted to be dangerous due to IDF presence and rescue teams needed to coordinate with the Red Crescent and getting clearance from the IDF, which didn't happen.

The father and daughter found themselves with no alternative but to leave the site and their beloved ones behind, risking their safety.

The martyrs were recovered from the rubble 3days later, on August 24, after the IDF's withdrawal from Hamad City:
