On May 24, 2025, an Israeli airstrike hit the home of Dr. Alaa al-Najjar, a pediatrician in Khan Younis, Gaza, killing nine of her ten children while she was on duty at a hospital. The children ranged in age from seven months to 12 years. Her husband was seriously injured, and her only surviving child, 11-year-old Adam, remains in critical condition. Israel claims it was targeting militants and is reviewing the incident. The strike, which killed 79 people in 24 hours, has sparked international condemnation and renewed calls for accountability.
