"Israel failed in its war and is taking revenge on civilians." Mukhtar Iyad Abu Ta'ima talks about the massacre of the Abu Ta'ima family in KhanYounis in the southern Gaza Strip.

Summary translation: "This was a large family with many siblings, women, and children. These civilians were struck at home without warning around 00:30 am. It was a savage barbaric attack. We at the Abu Tuaima family are all civilians, we have nothing to do with the resistance, weapons, or any such thing. Israel is proving to the world that it is targeting civilians and killing innocent children, women, and the elderly. Hajja Sameer was a 66-year-old Imam of a mosque with a heart condition, high blood pressure, and diabetes.  We hold the accursed America responsible for this as it supplies the Zionists with equipment, weapons, and financial aid. And we hold responsible the Gulf countries that keep providing oil to the barbaric occupier Israel. The Arab countries will pay a heavy price (for allowing this to happen) when Israel targets you."

Around 2 am, an Israeli airstrike bombed the Abu Tuaima family house in Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis, killing 10 members of the family
