The attack took place in the evening, just before iftar (meal ending the day-long fast in the month of Ramadan). Israeli pilots, without any warning, bombed the house of Tawfiq Ahmed Abu Jame’, killing 25 members of the Abu Jame’ family: 19 children, five women and one man.
There were only three survivors to the attack: Tawfiq Ahmed (36), his brother Bassem and Tawfiq’s four-year-old son Nouraddin. Israel claimed they were targeting a man who was visiting the house at the time.
On the photo: Tawfiq standing in the rubble of the house with his son Nour Ad-Din (4), who lost his mother and seven siblings.
