Archivist Notes: Abu Qamar supermarket massacre - Jabalia

Around 3:00pm, on October 7th, 2024, Israeli artillery shelling targeted a group of people near the Abu Qamar station, in front of a supermarket.

The attack resulted in 18 casualties, 10 of which were killed

Recovering the bodies was very difficult, due to the ongoing incursion, and targeting of those who attempted to recover them.

Among the dead was Omar Ryad Nofal, brother of photojournalist Ibrahim Nofal and of vlogger Jannat Nofal, and friend of journalist Anas Al-Sharif. His father Ryad is a veteran photographer who lost 30 relatives earlier in the genocide. Omar was his eldest son.Source Ibrahim Nofal posted a eulogy confirming Omar was killed in the second strike while rescuing his neighbors from the first strike.

Journalist "Qamar Gaza" on X also lost relatives and posted: "To God we belong and to Him we shall return. With hearts that believe in God’s will and destiny, we mourn the loss of my cousins: Uncle Hajj Fathi Ahmed Abu Qamar (Abu Raed), the martyr Muhammad Nazmi Abu Qamar, the martyr Ayesh Muhammad Abu Qamar, and the martyr Abdullah Nazmi Abu Qamar in the Jabalia camp massacre in the northern Gaza Strip. To the eternal gardens, God willing."

Full translation of Ibrahim Nofal's eulogy of his brother Omar: "*On October 7, a year after the war, Israel killed my older brother Omar Riyad Noufal. He was on his way to help the neighbors after the first attack. He reached the place and was targeted again and again. My brother and the neighbors were killed. 14 martyrs from the neighbors. I know them all. I love them all.

*We remembered them all. May God have mercy on them. One by one, they got their share and won Paradise. We continued to endure the pain, oppression, and helplessness. I feel sorry for you, my brother, and I love you very much.

*I was not sad about your martyrdom. On the contrary, I was happy for you. I was sad about your children. After you, I was sad about my mother and father. I was sad and upset because I was far from you. I did not hug you or say goodbye or carry you on my shoulder.

*As always, I was sad that I was not with your children in such a situation. From the beginning of the war, you were my companion and we carried each other. We ran to help the entire camp. I will never forget the day when the house was bombed on us and you and I got out from under the rubble to help your children and our families. I will never forget how much you were Strong, patient and content. I am sorry for your departure. I am sorry for everything, my brother. May God have mercy on you and treat you well and make your abode in heaven. You are the predecessors.

*May God give patience to my mother, father and children. God willing, God will keep them safe and we will be able to carry them and be with them.

My brother Omar was martyred on October 7th in the Jabalia camp massacre in the Abu Qamar area in northern Gaza"
