Israeli forces bombed the four-story building that is home to the extended family: the matriarch, Fatmeh Abu Jame‘, her four sons, and their wives and children. The family were eating iftar, the meal that breaks Ramadan fasting for the day. B’Tselem’s initial findings indicate that the likely target of the attack was Ahmad Suliman Sahmoud, a member of Hamas’ military wing, who was visiting a member of the family.

Everyone who was in the house at the time of the bombing was hurt: 25 members of the Abu Jame‘ family were killed, as well as Hamas operative Sahmoud.
