Archivist Notes On This Video

According to Mohammad himself and another witness on the scene, the twin babies were reduced to tiny pieces of flesh and the family were blown out from the top of the building (5th floor) to the street.

Mohammad Abu Al-Qumsan, who was displaced from the north of the Gaza Strip to Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, went to Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital to obtain birth certificates for his son and daughter born on August 10, in Al-Rimal neighborhood. However, on his way there an Israeli airstrike on their residence in Al Qastal Towers claimed their lives along with the lives of his wife, Dr. Jumana Faird Abu Al-Qumsan (Arfa), and her mother. He was informed of the strike by an acquaintance over a phone call who told him his family has been taken to Al-Aqsa hospital. He was on his way home to show the certificates to his wife but turned back to the hospital and found them in the morgue. On the same day he got birth certificates for his newborns, he got death certificates for them, and his mother, and mother-in-law. https://x.com/tamerqdh/status/1823924676642349330 https://x.com/EyeonPalestine/status/1823291764460978223 https://x.com/gazanotice/status/1823314660122112121 https://x.com/SuppressedNws/status/1823384413851296166 https://x.com/palinfoen/status/1823339722581680520
