Among them are two women and five children, the oldest of whom is 13 years old.

It was indescribably terrifying, so I rushed to the scene of the attack," said Talib al-Sawarka, a relative of the targeted family. The house was completely destroyed, all its residents were asleep, and it was razed to the ground. The biggest shock, even the biggest tragedy, was when the family members were soaked in their blood. Their bodies were buried under the rubble of the house.

The student pointed to the Israeli aircraft targeted the house of the family Sawarka four rockets, without warning, pointing out that the house is inhabited by two families of about 20 people, mostly children and women.
