Israeli Occupation Massacres – Testimonies of the Brutality of the Aggression

The massacres committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people are not merely numbers; they are painful human stories and innocent lives lost brutally. On this page, we document these massacres to preserve our collective memory and to convey to the world the reality of the oppression and crimes against humanity. We are here to assert that justice remains our demand and that the sacrifices of our martyrs will not be in vain.

Horrific Injuries to Children

Children Martyrs Under the Rubble

Massacre of Child Hind Rajab Family and the Ambulance Crew

Twelve days after a horrific massacre against the Hamada family, the child Hind Rajab, and the Red Crescent ambulance crew, the Israeli occupation army withdrew from the Tel al-Hawa area. The bodies of the martyrs were discovered decomposing near the Fares station, with evidence of destruction in the area indicating the intentional targeting of civilians, children, and paramedics by the Israeli occupation forces.

On January 29, 2024, the Palestinian Red Crescent received a call from Lian Hamada (14 years old), who requested assistance. She mentioned that an Israeli tank fired at their vehicle in the “Finance Roundabout” area of Tel al-Hawa in the southwestern part of the city. During the call, Lian’s screams were heard alongside a barrage of gunfire, and then the call abruptly ended. The Palestinian Red Crescent later released an audio recording in which Lian tried to inform the ambulance services about her situation, saying: “Uncle, they are shooting at us, the tank is next to us, we are in the car, and the tank is beside us.” After that, the sound of gunfire was heard while Lian screamed, leading to the disconnection of the call.

Subsequently, Red Crescent personnel attempted to call back and found that Hind, aged 6, was still alive. Smeih Hamada, Hind’s uncle, explained that he continued to communicate with Hind and tried to reassure her that the ambulance was on its way to evacuate her from the site.

Later, after 12 days of losing contact with the Red Crescent crew, the bodies of the martyrs were found on Saturday, February 10, 2023. The child Hind Rajab Hamada (6 years old) and five of her family members, including Bashar Hamada along with his wife and children Muhammad (11 years old), Lian (14 years old), and Raghad (13 years old), were discovered after their vehicle had been trapped twelve days earlier in the Tel al-Hawa area, southwest of Gaza City. The Red Crescent announced the discovery of its ambulance in the Tel al-Hawa area of Gaza City, stating that “the Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance was found damaged in Tel al-Hawa in Gaza City, resulting in the death of paramedics Youssef Zeino and Ahmad Al-Madhoun, who had gone missing while on a mission to rescue the child Hind Rajab.”
