Journalist Hossam Shabat writes:

"What happened in Khan Younis? Corpses everywhere, above and below the ground! F16 aircraft launched a series of violent raids, leaving a belt of fire with bombs weighing more than 500 kilograms, targeting the tents of the displaced west of Khan Younis and what the occupation claims is the safe zone. When ambulance and civil defense teams arrived, swarms of Quadcopter drones opened fire on their vehicles, directly targeting the crews with missiles."

Footage shows an Al-Jazeera report with Hossam speaking Arabic, explaining the events of the Mawasi Massacre. A montage a clips show plumes of black smoke rising over a refugee camp full of tents, rescue workers and distressed, injured people - many of them children. Several clips show Civil Defense workers, wounded and lying in the street - easily identifiable by their orange vests and coats. One of these workers is likely Mohammed Hamad, whose son's eulogy for him is also tagged to this event.

Documenting a systematic pattern of targeting Civil Defense personnel both while working, and in their homes with their families.

• As of September 8th, 2024, 83 members of Gaza's Civil Defense have been killed, with the most recent being Colonel Mohamed Morsi, Deputy Director of Civil Defense in northern Gaza, who was martyred with a number of his family members after their home in Jabalia camp was bombed.
