Obliterated families
25 June 2015
At approximately 3:10 am on Saturday, 1 August 2014, Israeli warplanes attacked the house of Abdel Malik Abdel Salam Al Fara in the Maan area in southwest Khan Younis district. Six families, comprised of 50 members, were living in the three-story house. Israeli missiles penetrated the roofs of the third and second floors, causing fire and damage to the house. Residents of the house were terrified and ran outside the house. They were about 30 meters away from the house when an Israeli warplane fired another missile at them. As a result, nine people were killed including five children and a woman. Ten others were injured, including four children and two women.
