Archivist Notes On This Video

Palestine Today TV's correspondent Imad Dalloul is documenting the destruction of the Abu Daqqa family house in Al-Fukhari, east Khan Younis, which was bombed without prior warning.

He says that one woman is still missing under the rubble of the house.

Witness: Around midnight we were asleep and heard a very large explosion and came here running, there was a lot smoke and gunpowder and we waited about 10 to 15 minutes for it to clear up. Then we started searching for those who were inside. We found two people lying here, one of them was in moderate condition, the other, a woman, was martyred. We went to the other side and found another two injured, one of them in critical condition, and we also found another 2 whose bodies were shredded. One of them had had their body cut torn in halves with the second completely torn apart. The second one, a girl, was also torn apart. The only one left, a 24 year-old woman was nowhere to be found and we've searched every corner since half past midnight. Maybe she's under the rubble or torn to pieces. We don't know what to do.

  • How many were living here?
  • Seven people.
  • And how many were martyred?
  • Four. A young man, his mother, sister and wife.
  • Were there children among them?
  • Not really, the girl was about 15 year-old and the woman (missing) who was 5-months pregnant was 24 year-old.

Witness 2: "The picture speaks for itself. A missile melted away a whole. There's no country in the world that uses F-16 missiles on people except Israel. May Allah grant us patience. I'm searching for my niece hoping I can find her and (properly) bury her, but so far no trace of her. This was a 3-storey house and now looks like it had just one floor."
