Eyewitnesses told Al Jazeera the moments of terror they experienced when the Israeli occupation army surrounded and opened fire on a residential building in Gaza City. The testimonies included details of what about 50 displaced people were exposed to in the building located in the vicinity of the Islamic University in Gaza.

The young martyr, Abdul Karim Al-Ramlawi (18 years old), was among those besieged, by sniper bullets. Video scenes showed the effects of intense gunfire on the building belonging to the Bakroun family, and displaced people from other families.
