Original Social Media Post

"Young heroine Raghad Al-Zard, sister of journalist Ahmad al-Zard, was besieged with her family after an Israeli bombing struck their home, leading to the death of some of her family members. Being the only member left with minor injuries, Raghad managed to save seven of her family members. This occurred last night after a surprise incursion of Israeli forces into Khan Yunis, specifically in the al-Ma'an area. There were multiple massacres occurring at the same time, taking advantage of the media's focus on Israel."

Archivist Notes: Airstrike and siege of the journalist Ahmed al-Zard family home

On October 1, during a surprise Israeli assault on Khan Younis, the house of Al-Agha family where the al-Zard family was sheltering was struck. The house was located directly next to the Ma'an station, east of Khan Yunis.

This is the family of journalist Ahmed al-Zard, cameraman for the Al-Kufiya channel in southeastern Khan Younis.

Casualties:

  • 3 injuries: Ahmed Al-Zard, his mother and brother were injured
  • 4 members of the family were killed: Ahmad's brother, uncle, and two cousins.

During the whole night of October 1 and until the dawn hours, Israeli offensive prevented ambulances from reaching several besieged houses that were bombed by the IDF, including Al-Zard family. The family remained besieged for many hours.
